When I left Poplar Ridge nine years ago, I never expected to return to my small hometown as a single dad or to fall for a woman who’s completely off limits.
Enter Jasmine Hayes. The fiery barrel racer with a smart mouth and hypnotic eyes is my new coworker, my greatest temptation, and… my best friend’s daughter.
At twenty-one, she’s far too young for me, but she’s made it clear she doesn’t care about our sixteen year age gap.
I doubt her father would feel the same, and since he’s also my boss, getting involved with her is out of the question.
Still, she’s determined to break down my walls and steal my heart.
I try to keep my distance, but when her dad tasks me with accompanying her to her barrel races, we’re forced to live in close quarters, and my restraint slowly begins to unravel.
I try to fight my feelings for her, knowing that if I cross that line, I risk losing my job and my best friend, but some things are inevitable.
And some people are worth risking everything for.
