My mother and I have a complicated relationship. She’s perfect. I’m not.
When her boyfriend, Ryker Hart, ends their relationship after stepping up to help me, things get even more complicated.
Six years later, I run into him at the kink club he owns, and he’s just as sexy as I remember. When a dangerous situation brings us closer, I can’t help but look at him in a different light. He’s older, but hot as hell, and all I want is for him to teach me how to give up control. Turns out, I’d learn that and so much more.
Ryker
When my ex’s daughter flies back into my life, the last thing I should do is imagine her on her knees. Arabella Bradley is everything I shouldn’t want. Her proximity brings out a side of me I didn’t know existed, but can’t deny and I find myself wanting to show her exactly how amazing she is. I want to keep her. But how can I, when another force keeps pulling her away?
Because of You is a standalone forbidden age-gap romance.
