Retired Marine, Manning Reid, had been my fatherโs best friend for as long as I could remember. But now, with my father gone, Iโm left to run his beloved bar, Sullivanโs. Iโm also stuck working with a hot, tough, impenetrable man I havenโt seen in years who has a way of making me desire things that should be forbidden between us.
Manning is grumpy, over-protective, and built like sin. A veritableย daddyย . . . one who refuses to see me as anything more than the little girl Iโd once been, no matter how hard I try to convince him otherwise.
He has a way of pushing all my buttons, so I push back harder, and end up unleashing all those dark, sensual cravings he can no longer deny. Itโs everything Iโve ever wanted from him, and more.
I want to be his, but Manning insists Iโm too young for him, that I deserve so much better than a man as jaded as him.
Thatโs where heโs wrong . . . heโs the perfect man for me, and Iโll do whatever it takes to prove it.
Forbidden Temptation is a steamy age gap, dad's best friend romance with a guaranteed happily ever after!
