Summer Series Book 5

Bestselling author Elizabeth O' Roark presents an angsty, age-gap, forbidden romance. Once upon a time, the toddler in a swim diaper who used to follow me around the beach was my buddy's niece, Daisy. Now, Daisy is twenty-one, the loveliest sight I've ever laid eyes on, and she's blackmailing me into letting her stay for the summer.

Whether she's bent over on my deck in yoga pants or wearing a barely-there bikini, Daisy's presence is a constant distraction. She makes me laugh when I want to stay angry and forces me to remember all the things I used to love. If only she wasn't so young and incredibly off-limits.

The sizzling tension between us is becoming harder to resist, but giving in would jeopardize some of my oldest friendships. Worst of all, it might even destroy Daisy.

I've known Daisy since she was a child, and I've always felt a sense of protectiveness towards her. Now, that protectiveness has morphed into a deep, forbidden desire that I'm struggling to suppress. Daisy is no longer the little girl I once knew; she's a vibrant, alluring woman, and she's making it impossible for me to keep my distance.

The more time we spend together, the more I find myself drawn to her infectious energy, her sharp wit, and her boundless enthusiasm. She challenges me in ways I never expected, and I can't help but admire her fearlessness and her unwavering determination.

But the age gap between us is a constant reminder of the boundaries I must maintain. Daisy may be an adult, but she's still young, and I'm haunted by the potential consequences of giving in to our mutual attraction. The thought of jeopardizing my friendships and, worse, potentially hurting Daisy, is enough to make me want to flee from this situation entirely.

Yet, the pull of Daisy is undeniable. She sees through my gruff exterior and challenges me to be the best version of myself. The moments we share are electric, and the temptation to give in to our desires grows stronger with each passing day.

As I grapple with these conflicting emotions, I know that I'm treading on dangerous ground. The path ahead is uncertain, and the risks are high. But Daisy's presence in my life has become as essential as the air I breathe, and I can't imagine a future without her in it, even if that future is not the one I had envisioned.
