In Love With My Son's Best Friend
“Funny how the best things are the ones you are not supposed to touch,” he murmured. His voice was low and husky. It curled under my skin and made me shiver. I bit down on my lip, remembering his kiss from nights ago.
“Do not,” I whispered, but my voice cracked.
He lifted a hand, his fingers grazing my arm before he tugged me closer. “Knowing we should not be doing this makes me want you more.”
June Wallace believed she had the perfect life: a wealthy husband, two beautiful children, and the admiration of everyone in her social circle. But when she walks in on her husband of twenty years with a secretary young enough to be their daughter, her world shatters.
One night of heartbreak pulls her into the arms of Luca, a stranger with piercing blue eyes who is half her age and makes her feel alive again. It was meant to be a single night. Fake names. No strings. Until he walks into her home weeks later as her son’s best friend.
Now June is caught in the most forbidden desire. Luca does not care about their age difference. He does not care about the risks. He wants her, and he is not afraid to fight for her even if it tears her family apart. But secrets never stay hidden, and when the truth emerges, June must choose between the perfect life everyone expects and the messy, consuming love she never knew she needed until Luca.

Chapter: 0005: FORBIDDEN FRUITJUNE’S POV“No,” I said too fast, way too sharp. “I can handle it.”He ignored me. He moved in close, took a plate from my hand as if it were his to take, and turned on the tap.I stood there, hovering, not sure what to do with myself. Watching him load dishes into the washer as if he had always belonged in that spot. And I caught myself thinking how natural he looked there… which made me wonder how long he had been around, really around, without me noticing.“So, you’re Adrian’s mom,” he said, breaking the silence first.“You didn’t tell me you were Adrian’s friend.” The words came out clipped, harsher than I meant. I hated myself for snapping at him. I hated that he had forced this moment when we could have kept pretending. Pretending was easier.“And I suppose that is my fault, isn’t it?” His smirk cut into me, warming my cheeks. “Funny thing, I was going to find you. But here you are.” His eyes flicked down, then up again, and I knew he was looking too closely.I had nothing on wo

Chapter: 0004: MINI MELTDOWNJUNE’S POVThe words knocked the air right out of me. Best friend? He is my son’s best friend? My stomach dropped to the floor, my hand clamping the railing before my knees betrayed me. Oh God. I had slept with my son’s best friend.I was having a full blown mental meltdown but Luca on the other hand had recovered faster than I did, his voice calm and without the hint of recognition. “Hello, Mr. Wallace, Mrs. Wallace. I’m Luca Brooks. Nice to meet you.”Brooks? Even his surname sounds like trouble.“He is handsome, right Mom?” Marlene leaned close, whispering how handsome he was, and I nearly laughed, because she was not wrong. He looked even younger here against the glow of my porch light, and at the same time sharper than from nights ago.I forced my mouth into a smile. “Welcome, Luca,” I managed, though my voice cracked like thin ice.For the briefest second, our eyes caught. The recognition hit hard. The same shock, the same pull, the fire neither of us had managed to put out. His

Chapter: 0003: SUMMER GUEST JUNE’S POVThe drive home that morning felt heavier than usual. My little sedan seemed to drag itself forward, carrying not only me but the mess of what I had done. Luca’s touch still clung to my skin, a heat I could not wash off, and the thought of stepping into Franklin’s house, my husband’s house, made my stomach twist with knots.I barely cut the engine before I saw him waiting at the door. Arms crossed, face drawn and pale. Not smug, not casual like I had half expected. He looked wrecked. Like he had not closed his eyes once all night.The second I walked in, his voice cracked. “June… wait. Please. Do not shut me out. I need to explain.”I froze, my purse still on my shoulder. The audacity of him. “Explain? What is there to explain, Franklin? I fucking saw you.” My voice shook, not from fear but from the kind of disbelief that cuts deeper than rage.He reached for me, hands trembling. “It was a mistake. God, June, it was the first time. I swear on everything, I have never touched

Chapter: 0002: ONE NIGHT STAND JUNE’S POV Maybe it was the whiskey talking. Or maybe it was this raw, screaming need inside me I’d been ignoring for years. Honestly, I don't know what came over me. I caught his arm, my fingers digging in a little too tight."Do you... maybe want to just go to your place?" The words were out of my mouth before my brain could catch up. I felt my face flush.His grin spread slowly, like he’d won a prize he’d been waiting for. "Are you sure?""Yes." My voice was firmer than I felt. If I stopped to think for one second about my age, my kids, my blown-apart marriage, I'd chicken out. I couldn't let that happen.He didn't need to be told twice. He just took my hand and pulled me toward a beat-up black Wrangler across the street. Thank God the drive was only five minutes. We didn't talk, but his hand was on my thigh the whole time, his thumb tracing little circles on my skin. It was enough to keep my mind from spiraling into a full-blown panic attack.The second we got to his apartment bu

Chapter: 0001: THE REBOUNDJUNE’S POVMy heart wasn't just beating; it was trying to break out of my chest. Honestly, it was a miracle Luca couldn't hear it over the bar noise. His hand was right there on the small of my back, warm and steady, and the feeling was a crazy mix of thrilling and absolutely terrifying.And that was the problem. This guy guiding me through the crowd? He was twenty-two, twenty-three tops. My son Adrian’s age. Let that sink in for a minute. Meanwhile, I’m a forty-year-old woman whose entire life had just been vaporized a few hours ago.I had no business being here. None. This boy with the intense blue eyes and all those tattoos was basically a walking red flag, and I was following him like I’d never seen the color red before. But the way he looked at me… God, it had been twenty years since a man looked at me like that. Like I was something to see. After the night I’d had, I was all out of reasons to play it safe.You see, just a few hours ago, I was a completely different person. I was
