I gave myself to a stranger for one unforgettable night. I was never supposed to see him again. Instead, he’s the man about to ruin my life. Eric I came back to Rock Creek for business, not romance. But one night with Emmie changed everything. She’s sweet, innocent, and unforgettable. One night wasn’t enough to get her out of my system, but when I see her again she’s not just the woman who’s been haunting my thoughts—she’s my tenant’s granddaughter, and I’m the man about to take everything from her family. I should walk away. I should stick to my plan. But the need to claim her as mine burns stronger than any obligation, and I won’t stop until she knows I’m here to fight for her, not against her.
