Chloe Maine

He was my mom’s high school boyfriend...

I have seventeen dollars to my name and a one-way bus ticket to my new college town—two months early. Oh, and the name of a man I’ve never met scrawled on a piece of paper. Henry Wilde.

But when I show up on his doorstep, he has no idea that my mom said I could stay with him. And he only has one bed.

It’s eight weeks until I can move onto campus.

Eight weeks of living with him above his barbershop. So I’m going to make myself useful. Help him out and try not to pester him about what it will be like at college. Because this homeschooled girl has a lot of questions, but they’re not appropriate for my de facto guardian. Not even if we’re both consenting adults…

An explosive age gap, off-limits romance from the author of Before He Was Her Headmaster

Conception Ridge

Above the Shop

Ford Gamble is my dad’s best friend. He’s also the reclusive keeper of the Conception Ridge lighthouse. But I remember a time when he was around more—the perfect hotter-than-sin fodder for all my fantasies.

Now there’s just enough silver in his shock of sexy hair and thick beard that he looks a little bit like a hot forty-something Santa, with six-pack abs. And that’s what has me heading to the lighthouse on a dark, stormy Christmas Eve when the retirement home where I work needs a fill-in Mr. Claus for their annual celebration.

Except I underestimate the bad weather, and the next thing I know, I’m waking up in his bed—realizing I may have revealed my forbidden fantasies to him in my feverish sleep. Can I convince him to finally let me call him Daddy Christmas? Or will he deny that he shares my off-limits feelings? Because I know Ford can’t stop looking at me with a wild heat in his gaze. And my desperate Christmas wish is that he’s thinking about corrupting his little, not-so-innocent angel.
