She’s off men. He’s off sex. But when sparks ignite, self-control doesn’t stand a chance. Celia I never planned to come back to Oakwhite Bay. Certainly not separated, broke, and dragging a trailer of regrets. Moving into a fixer-upper with my six-year-old daughter in tow, I’m hoping for a fresh start and a plan for our future. I’m not even officially divorced, so romance is totally out of the question. Which means I definitely shouldn’t be flirting with the neighbor I once babysat, who’s now a gorgeous yoga instructor with a vow of celibacy. But every heated glance, every kindness makes it harder to remember why it’s safer to stay away. I need to be smart. I need to protect my heart. So then why am I finding it impossible to resist him? Hunter I’ve worked hard to channel my emotions into something steady—yoga, discipline, a quieter path. But opening my brewery has stirred up memories I’ve spent years trying to keep buried, and peace is slipping further from my grip. Then, Celia moves in across the street. Still untouchable. Still forbidden. Still all I’ve ever wanted. I long to make her scream my name and give her the pleasure she's been denied, but my past reminds me to protect my heart or else I'll ruin us both. I know better. I should keep my distance. But how can I hold back when she looks at me like I'm all she needs? In Too Deep is a scorching small-town romance full of sharp banter, forbidden age-gap tension, and very unneighborly temptation.
