When a responsible doctor and his best friend's son share one unforgettable night, they discover that some rules are made to be broken—and some connections refuse to be denied. Colt is everything forbidden: younger, wild, and absolutely irresistible, while our hero is trying desperately to hold onto his reputation and his principles. Back in their small town with nowhere to hide and chemistry that practically ignites the air between them, they'll have to decide whether keeping their distance is worth losing what might be the real thing. This is a deliciously tempting romance about falling for the person you're absolutely not supposed to want, and discovering that sometimes the best rules are the ones you break together.

Sultry indie rock and smoldering R&B for forbidden desire in a dusty small town. Think intense chemistry, late-night whiskey confessions, and the electric tension of wanting someone you absolutely shouldn't. Dark, sensual, unapologetic.
