Forbidden on Fruit Street

I never meant to lie to my parents about my job—I only wanted to make them proud. So when Dad asks me to return to New York to manage the renovation of a townhouse he owns, I can't say no, even though I'm in way over my head. But the real challenge comes in the form of Kyle, the gruff and ruggedly-handsome foreman, eighteen years my senior and my father's best friend. We clash on everything, except for the chemistry that sizzles between us—chemistry he stubbornly denies.

I never planned on being a virgin at twenty-five, stuck in a dead-end job. And I definitely didn't plan to fall for Weston, the married hottie in a suit who likes my daily coffee art. At least I think he does. He doesn't smile much.

Crushing on your best friend's dad? Bad idea. Moving in with him? Even worse. But Wyatt Mathers is unlike any dad I've ever met: he's tattooed, owns a motorcycle, and is dangerously handsome. Oh, and he's hell-bent on protecting me from my toxic ex. To him, I'm his daughter's best friend. But to me? He’s the only person who's ever made me feel safe and seen. Living under his roof, I'm falling harder than I ever thought possible . . . and there's no way I can stop.
