He’s the only man I’ve ever wanted. He’s also my best friend’s dad and the last man I can ever have. Since Everly was a little girl, I swore I would watch out for her. Protect her. Only she's not a little girl anymore, but a woman with killer curves, a fierce independent streak, and gorgeous hazel eyes. A woman who wants me as desperately as I want her. Too bad she’s completely and one hundred percent off-limits. Forbidden. But when she catches the attention of a stalker determined to cause her harm, the protective instinct in me demands that I keep her close. The temptation of this forbidden fruit soon becomes something I can’t resist… nor do I want to. Even if it might kill us both.
