He's her father's best friend. Someone she's known for years. Someone she trusts. Someone who should be completely off-limits. But slowly, something between them begins to change. Lingering looks turn into late-night conversations, innocent moments into undeniable tension, and feelings into a secret neither of them can ignore. The problem? No one can find out. Because some feelings are forbidden. And some secrets can destroy everything.

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.

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.

Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.

Jon era el hombre más peligroso que había conocido, pero conmigo solo conocía la entrega absoluta. En esta nueva vida, el amor, la complicidad y el deseo desenfrenado a puerta cerrada eran lo único que marcaba nuestros días. Construimos un hogar donde creímos haberlo logrado todo, convencidos de que por fin el amor había ganado la batalla.

Everyone has a line they swear they'll never cross. For Catalina Reyes, that line was supposed to be simple: never fall for someone you shouldn't. She had the perfect boyfriend. The perfect future. The kind of love everyone dreams about. Until she met Jon Callahan, her boyfriend's father. Older. Guarded. Impossible to read. He was everything she wasn't supposed to want. But the more she sees behind his silence, the harder it becomes to remember why he's off limits. Because sometimes the most dangerous people aren't the ones who hurt you... They're the ones who make you feel seen.

Mr Jacob's was my dads best friend. He was forbidden. Older. I couldn't like him. Yet he was all I ever thought about. All I ever craved. I needed him. Please be aware there will be dark themes in this book , that some people could find triggering. This is also a slow burn. Starting where willow is only 12 years old , I wanted to show flashbacks of willow growing up alongside Quinn as a family friend. Absolutely NO romantic/ intimate dynamics take place until the fmc is 18/19 years old.

When she comes home for summer, the one man who makes her feel safe is the one she can never have-her father's best friend, Frank Castle. Older, scarred, and fiercely protective, Frank tries to keep his distance. But in the hazy heat of long summers and stolen moments, forbidden desire begins to unravel them both. A slow-burn age-gap romance thick with tension, tenderness, and dangerous temptation. TW: heavy smutt, swearing, alcohol, cheating mentioned, age gaps, sex, slight violence.

(This is not a fanfic) There are secrets that burn more than fire. For me the secret has a first and last name, not to mention he shares drinks with my father in the living room. And obsessive attraction consumed in secret, where every touch is a betrayal and every confession is made in whispers.
