Why do forbidden flames always seem to burn brightest?

Daphne Calloway is off limits. Our families have been bitter rivals for years. I shouldn’t want her.

But I do.

Which is why I bid on her at the bachelorette auction. Letting some other guy get his hands on her was…unthinkable.

Then she suggested our date take place in a hot tub and everything got harder. Literally.

See, as a single mom with a new business, Daphne was in desperate need of a fun, sexy, one-night stand—and I was more than happy to deliver. That should’ve been the end of it.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

Because now that I know how amazing she truly is, now that I’ve started fantasizing about being there for her and her daughter in a happily-ever-after kind of way, I have a huge problem.

Choosing Daphne could cost me everything I’ve been working so hard for. What remains to be seen is whether any of it will be worth a damn thing if I lose her…
