I use my family connections to land an internship at Blackwood Lodge...only to fall face-first into an off-limits crush on the gruff, tattooed man who runs it.
Thanks to my mom's recent marriage to Ford Callahan's brother, the big, bearded giant who runs the luxury resort is…well, technically he’s family.
Which is fine, because I’m here to intern. To bulk up my resume before heading back to the city.
Not to tumble head-over-sort-of-related-heels for a man twenty-six years older than me who barely speaks unless he has to, but always growls when I wear leggings.
He’s off-limits. Too old. Too serious. Too close to my family.
And yet…he watches me like he wants to break the rules.
So maybe I’ll tease him a little. Maybe I’ll wear those short shorts again. Maybe I’ll see what happens when I push just hard enough to make him snap.
Because this is more than just lust for me. And if there's a chance he feels the same, I'm willing to risk everything to know what it feels like to be his.
