About this audiobook
He’s my best friend’s father.
I should hate him.
I should stay away from him.
So why can’t I stop thinking about the way he looks at me?
Elias Voss is everything I should never want.
Forty-seven. Powerful. Mysterious. Untouchable.
And the father of my best friend.
The first time we meet, he is kneeling in the snow beside an injured man at his construction site. I’m the paramedic called to save the man’s life, and Elias is the broken, haunted billionaire who looks at me like I’m the first person who has ever seen through him.
I walk away believing I’ll never see him again.
Then I discover the truth.
Elias Voss is my best friend’s father.
Suddenly, the man I’m forbidden to want is everywhere.
Across the dinner table.
In my thoughts.
In my dreams.
And eventually, in my arms.
We know it’s wrong.
We know what it could cost.
My friendship. His relationship with his daughter. The family we could destroy if anyone discovers what’s happening between us.
But every stolen glance makes it harder to stay away.
Every secret kiss makes the line we promised not to cross disappear a little more.
And when I finally give in to the man I swore I could never have, I think the biggest danger is getting caught.
I’m wrong.
Because weeks later, I discover something that changes everything.
I’m pregnant.
With Elias Voss’s baby.
The man I can’t love.
The man I can’t leave.
The man who can never know.
So I make the hardest decision of my life.
I keep our baby a secret.
But secrets have a way of finding the light.
And when Elias discovers the truth, the consequences are far worse than I ever imagined.
Because this isn't just about an age gap anymore.
It isn't just about forbidden desire.
It isn't even about my best friend.
It’s about a baby who could either bring us together... or destroy everything between us.
He was supposed to be the one man I could never have.
Instead, he became the man I could never stop loving.
