I have been in love with my father's best friend since I was sixteen. He was the only one who ever saw me. The only one who made me feel safe. And now, eight years later, I am moving into his house. He still thinks of me as a child. A responsibility. His best friend's daughter. He has no idea what I am planning. And I am not going to stop until he is mine. When a young woman is sent to live with her father’s best friend—the man who once helped her through her darkest moment—long-suppressed feelings resurface, blurring the line between gratitude, obsession, and a love neither of them is willing to admit.
