Parrish Turner has always been my ultimate fantasy. He was my gay awakening, my sweetest torture, and my forbidden fruit ever since my father remarried and merged our families.
And he never even noticed me. I was nothing more but an annoyance. The most I got from him was a growl or a bark. And it was enough to make me wild with desire. Until he left.
Now, five years after I’d last seen him, we’re back in the same house. Even worse, we’re in tight quarters, forced to share the same bed. Luckily, it's only for a couple of weeks.
But that is long enough for my will to cave in. Especially now that I’ve got nothing else to lose and Parrish is starting to tease me in ways I can’t even interpret. Either he's trying to bully me for fun, or he's flirting. With him, the two are never far apart.
He blurs the line between right and wrong. And I can’t resist the temptation that could only ever end in the destruction of whatever family we have left.
