He should stay away from his best friend's sheltered daughter, but the way she looks at him with those wide eyes and parted lips makes it impossible. She doesn't just want his protection. She wants him to own her completely, and every stolen glance drags him closer to crossing that line.
In the sunlit kitchen while the rest of the house sleeps, his hands find her hips and she melts back against him with a soft sound that undoes his last restraint. In the hidden garage where no one can hear, he takes her against cold metal, her fingers gripping his shoulders as he shows her exactly how a man handles what belongs to him. She gives as good as she gets, arching into his grip, begging with her body for more of his rough tenderness, more of the claiming she has craved without knowing the words for it.
His loyalty to her father has kept him circling her for years. Her innocence has kept her waiting, watching, wanting the one man she cannot have. When her father's enemies circle closer, the protectiveness that has always simmered beneath the surface ignites into something fierce and consuming. He will kill to keep her safe. He will ruin himself to keep her.
But some secrets demand blood, and the world they have built in shadows cannot survive the light.
A full-length age gap taboo erotic romance featuring a dominant older man and his best friend's untouched younger daughter. Includes explicit scenes of possessive dominance, first surrender, and obsessive protection that blurs the line between guardian and possessor.
