About this book

When a young woman with nowhere left to turn moves into Pike Lawson's house, what starts as a simple act of kindness ignites something neither of them can ignore—a magnetic pull that grows stronger with every shared glance and accidental touch. Pike tells himself he's just being her protector, her steady presence in a chaotic life, but the electricity crackling between them is impossible to deny. Caught in a web of complicated circumstances and a thirteen-year age gap that shouldn't work but absolutely does, they must navigate the agonizing space between what they want and what they can have. This is the kind of forbidden, slow-burn story that will have your heart racing and your emotions completely invested in their impossible connection.

“Create a playlist called Birthday Girl. Dark, sensual indie and R&B with undeniable chemistry—forbidden attraction that burns hot and slow. Think sultry vocals, bass-driven beats, and the intoxicating tension of crossing a line you can't uncross. Moody, magnetic, dangerously intimate.”
