My Boyfriend's Dad Series by Lena Little

My name is Kenneth Klein, CEO of Klein Investments Inc. and one of the richest men in the world. Few things faze me but when I see Kasey at a company retreat in Hawaii, something roars in me from out of nowhere. A hunger. A primal need to be with her and claim her as my own. I think for a moment that finding out she’s my son’s girlfriend is enough to quash my animalistic desire. But he breaks up with her in front of me—in front of my other employees—and humiliates her... moreMy name is Kenneth Klein, CEO of Klein Investments Inc. and one of the richest men in the world.

I think for a moment that finding out she’s my son’s girlfriend is enough to quash my animalistic desire. But he breaks up with her in front of me—in front of my other employees—and humiliates her. Protectiveness surges in my chest but a dark part of me is ecstatic I can now have her for myself. The more time I spend with Kasey, the more consumed I am by this obsession. Obsession to make her mine. And mine alone. I am nothing if not persistent. And I feel sorry for anything—or anyone—who tries to get between me and her. Only fools will want to stand in my way. less

Haley Lyons—a woman who hits me like a lightning strike and who I instantly know is mine. Except, she’s not just any other patient. She's my son's ex-girlfriend.

Good f*cking thing I’ll never have to find out. less

In the midst of a blizzard, Melody is thrust into my life, recently homeless and seeking shelter. She’s here as my son’s guest and girlfriend…or she was five minutes ago. It makes my blood boil when I personally witness how he refuses to respect what she wants. I didn’t raise him to be a boy who doesn’t understand what ‘no’ means. So he leaves, and it fills me with sick satisfaction when she breaks up with him... moreIn the midst of a blizzard, Melody is thrust into my life, recently homeless and seeking shelter.

I didn’t raise him to be a boy who doesn’t understand what ‘no’ means. So he leaves, and it fills me with sick satisfaction when she breaks up with him. And Melody… She may be my son’s ex, but she’s still off-limits…or at least, she’s supposed to be. She’s too young, too innocent, and I should be nowhere near her.

A self-made billionaire, I’m unyielding and possessive. What’s mine is mine. And that’s exactly what Melody is now. She just doesn’t know it yet. I’m going to have her—body and soul.

When my son comes into the office to inform me that his girlfriend will start working in my company, I almost throw him out onto the street. No one tells me what to do, least of all this good-for-nothing boy who acts like he's entitled to everything.

HunterI make my living running into burning buildings. Saving lives is what I do. And for a lot of years, that’s been enough. The rush I get from putting myself in danger is a high unlike anything else I’ve ever known, and the camaraderie I have with the men in my department has been enough to sustain me. Or so I thought.After an accident at a fire lands me in the hospital, I find myself face to face with Harlow White, an exquisitely beautiful young woman I’ve known for a while... moreHunterI make my living running into burning buildings. Saving lives is what I do. And for a lot of years, that’s been enough. The rush I get from putting myself in danger is a high unlike anything else I’ve ever known, and the camaraderie I have with the men in my department has been enough to sustain me. Or so I thought.After an accident at a fire lands me in the hospital, I find myself face to face with Harlow White, an exquisitely beautiful young woman I’ve known for a while. A gorgeous, young stunner I’ve fantasized about more than I should have over the years. It was always easy to keep myself in check because she was with my son, Micah.Things have changed since then.Harlow has shown me sides of myself I didn’t know existed. She’s shown me the empty spots in my heart and soul and that those things I thought sustained me are only masking those things missing from my life. I know if Micah finds out about Harlow and me, it’s not going to go over well, and I feel like I’m caught in a position where I’m being forced to choose between my son and the woman I want with my entire heart and soul.I run into burning buildings for a living. Fear has never been part of my vocabulary. But thinking about living my life without one of the two most important people in my world has me absolutely fucking terrified.HarlowI’ve been so focused on my schooling and my career, I left no room for love and a relationship. Part of that is because of a bad experience with my last boyfriend. It made me a little gun-shy about jumping into another relationship.But when Hunter Weston was wheeled into the ER one night after being injured at a fire scene, all those teenage fantasies I had came rushing back into my head. My last relationship, terrible an experience as it was, was with Hunter’s son. After we broke up, I secretly fantasized about his father. Fantasies that were entirely innocent and safe because I knew would never come to fruition.Now, free of Micah and building my own life, things have changed. I have changed. And the more time I spend with Hunter, the more I see just how much I’ve been missing by shutting myself off from the possibility of love. By avoiding emotional entanglements. Hunter has unlocked doors inside of me that I thought I’d sealed shut forever, and the ease with which he’s done it has left me breathless.But I know that Hunter’s relationship with his son is on fragile ground. I know the slightest blow could bring the entire house of cards crashing down around them. And the last thing I want is to be the wedge between father and son. As much as I want to be with Hunter, I don’t know if I could live with myself if I kept Hunter from having a relationship with Micah.In a battle between what I want and what I know is right, I feel like I’m going to lose no matter which way I turn. less
