Living under his roof is the second problem.
At our reunion, Caleb rescues me from a creep. A photo convinces our small town we’re a couple; we fake date through Founders’ Week.
My apartment is condemned, forcing my daughter and me into his spare room.
He admits he’s waited fourteen years; every touch leaves me wanting more.
He pays for repairs without asking—the control I swore I’d never surrender.
The man I love may have just destroyed the thing I need most: trust.
