The first time I saw him, I was a disaster—spinach dip on my dress, mascara running, fake ID burning a hole in my pocket. I looked like a wreck. Gavin Priestly looked like sin in a tailored suit.
He's forty-three. My father's business partner. The man who calls me "kid" with an infuriating smirk that makes my whole body clench. He's off-limits, forbidden, and completely untouchable.
Until he isn't.
What starts as a secret fling in his office after hours becomes something neither of us expected. Something real. Something that terrifies us both. But when a blurry photo threatens to destroy his empire and my family, we have to choose: the safe lives we've built, or the messy, scorching truth we've been hiding in the dark.
He says he's too old for me. That he'll ruin me.
Good. I've always liked the rain.
