And caring for myself from a young age has come with a lot of hardships, but finding myself bruised, homeless, and sleeping in my car just about tops the list.
Fortunately, the person I least expect offers to take me in and share his home with me.
My boss, Dean, may be twenty years older and have a son my age, but he’s still the sexiest man I’ve ever met. (Mechanics, amiright?) He’s also incredibly sweet and thoughtful and apparently quite protective of me. He may even be a bit possessive…
But best of all, he genuinely seems to like and accept me just as I am.
The only problem is, Dean is straight. And living with my very hot, very straight boss just might be the thing that kills me.
