When Kirsten discovers her fiancé is cheating on her in college, she’s devastated. She doesn’t mean to go a little crazy, but the nearest person is her fiancé’s father and she runs to him. She doesn’t intend to throw herself at him, and she never expects him to take what she’d been saving for her fiancé! Once it happens, though, Kirsten discovers she can’t get enough. Sure, it’s forbidden. In fact, it’s about as forbidden as a relationship can get. That may be true, but Kirsten has no intention of letting this taboo relationship go. Can she find a way to a happily-ever-after?

All I want to do is go on my Memorial Day trip with my friends, but in order for that to happen, I’m going to have to find a way to convince my stepdad to let me out of my punishment. Sure, it’s my fault I’m stuck working at the hotel to pay off the damage I caused, but I’m 18 years old, and I deserve to have some fun! I don’t want to be stuck in Rockwell Pass! It’s far too small a town for any real fun. When I see my stepfather at his job, though, an idea comes to me. I never knew how authoritative and strong he could be.

They know their love is forbidden but when this older man takes control, there’s nothing she can do but do exactly what he wants. He wants her. All of her. And he’ll have it.

Who leaves their girlfriend in the woods after a fight? My now ex-boyfriend, that’s who. One fight—okay, a big fight—because I found out he was cheating on me while we were camping, and poof! He left me in the woods. So, I start walking to town, only I end up at the river, where I meet Axel. This guy is huge. With a storm rolling in, I don’t have much choice but to trust him and take shelter in his cabin, since I’ve been walking for hours away from town. Several days of rain wash out the road and it looks like I’m stuck here with my giant.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I'd never been able to forget - even though he so easily forgot about me - and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you've had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless prank call. Instead I went off on him - unloading 13 years of pent-up emotions. I didn't think he'd call me back.
