Levi Steele became a father before he was old enough to drink, and eight years later he has built a good life: a successful contracting company, a place in the Dark Knights motorcycle club, and a daughter, Joey, whose happiness comes first. None of it would be possible without Joey's devoted aunt Tara Osten, who is staying with them over spring break and whom Levi has started thinking about in ways he knows he shouldn't. Tara is the younger sister of Joey's birth mother, which makes her strictly off-limits, yet the pull between them grows harder to ignore by the day. Tara, twenty-four, has quietly loved Levi for as long as she can remember, and she is finally ready to stop pining for a man who only sees her as his daughter's aunt. Her plan is simple: buy her own place, start dating, and get through spring break without falling any harder. As their connection deepens, Levi and Tara risk the one relationship neither can afford to lose. Emotional and scorching, this is a forbidden-love romance about family, longing, and choosing the person your heart already claimed.
