If Only You Were Mine

SLOANE

When my college apartment gets renovated, I'm forced to move back to the last place I ever wanted to be, home. Except there's no room at either of my parents' houses, and apparently no one takes "I make money online" seriously. So now I'm crashing with the one man I shouldn't be thinking about. Beckett Hayes. My dad's best friend. Stoic. Broody. And handsome as hell. He's known me since I was in diapers, but I'm not a kid anymore. The longer I stay, the more impossible it is to ignore the tension humming beneath every glance, every brush, every silence.

BECKETT

Letting Sloane stay with me for the summer wasn't supposed to feel like a mistake. But the girl who shows up isn't a girl at all, she's a grown, gorgeous storm wrapped in spandex and chaos. She lights candles like she owns the place. Talks back like it's foreplay. I shouldn't want her. She's my best friend's daughter. She's too young. And she's supposed to be leaving in September. Yet, I can't stop thinking about her.

One house. One summer. One line they both know they shouldn't cross. But when late nights turn into lingering touches and playful teasing starts to feel like something more...What happens when temporary temptation starts to feel a lot like home?
