The truth is finally out. What began as two nights that were never supposed to mean anything has become impossible to ignore. Jacob knows everything. He knows about the past, he knows about the feelings that came later, and he knows his father is in love with the woman he still calls his girlfriend. Jon tried to walk away. He tried to convince himself that wanting her wasn't enough to justify hurting his son. But staying away is one thing. Watching her belong to Jacob is another. Jacob refuses to give up the relationship they built, and Jon can no longer pretend he doesn't want the same woman for himself. Now there are no secrets left to protect them from the truth. Two men want the same woman. She loves them both. And no matter how long they avoid making the choice, one thing is certain, they can't all get what they want.

He was her father's best friend. He'd known her for years. He'd watched her grow up, teased her about every boyfriend she'd ever had, and always reminded her that she deserved better. Jon Bernthal was never supposed to become that person. The person she thought about when she couldn't sleep. The person she looked for in every room. The person she knew she shouldn't want. And Jon knew it too. He knew exactly who Iris was. Michael's daughter. His best friend's daughter. The one person he was never supposed to fall for. But feelings don't care about rules. What starts with stolen glances and conversations that last a little too long slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. There are secrets to keep, lines they shouldn't cross, and a father who can never find out. Because some people are simply not for you. And Jon was never supposed to be hers. Until he was.

Rule number one: Don't look at her. Rule number two: Don't cross the line. Staying in her father's guest house was supposed to be simple, but Frank is finding it impossible to keep his eyes off Nora. He watches the way she hides behind her clothes and tolerates a guy who doesn't deserve her. Frank knows he's out of line. He knows he's too old to fall into this trap. He just doesn't care anymore.

Jay raised his son alone. He doesn't ask for much-just stability, loyalty, and the kind of life you build with your own hands. Then Sofia arrives in Nick's life, and everything becomes complicated. She's beautiful and intelligent in a way Nick doesn't appreciate. Jay sees it immediately. He also sees the danger in looking too long, in feeling too much. She's off-limits. Untouchable. His son's girlfriend. But knowing something is wrong and being able to stop it are two different things. What unfolds between them is raw, intense, and impossible to ignore-a collision of forbidden desire and the bonds that are supposed to hold a family together. A dark, gritty novella about temptation, loyalty, and the impossible choices we make when everything we love is on the line.

She never expected her one-night stand to be sitting at her father's Sunday dinner table the very next day. Jon is imagined as Jon Bernthal

It was supposed to be one night. No last names. No promises. No reason to ever see each other again. Jon was older, rough around the edges, and dangerously easy to want. By morning, you walked away knowing almost nothing about him, and expecting it to stay that way. Then you met Jacob. Charming, intense, and impossible to ignore, Jacob Callahan had a way of making everything feel like it belonged to him, including you. His temper should have been a warning. His jealousy probably should've been another. Instead, you fell for him. Months later, Jacob decides it's finally time for you to meet his family. And standing on the other side of the door is the one man you never expected to see again. Jon. Your boyfriend's father. One look is enough to know he remembers everything. Neither of you tells Jacob. What happened was before him. It meant nothing. It's over. At least, that's what you keep telling yourselves. Because the longer you're around the Callahans, the more you begin to realise just how alike father and son really are. The same temper. The same intensity. The same inability to let go. And, apparently, the same taste in women.

Shane Walsh has always been good at following the rules. Rule number one? Never look at your best friend's daughter like that. He breaks it the second she walks back into town as a grown woman. Before the world ended, Shane's biggest mistake was falling in love with the only woman he could never have. "Why do you get so angry every time I go out with someone?" "Because every time I see you with some guy who doesn't deserve five minutes of your time, I spend the whole damn night wonderin' if he's gonna treat you right... and I hate that I care as much as I do."

Frank Castle was always just her dad's best friend. But when Valerie witnesses something she should have never seen. She suddenly now knows him better than anyone.
