LOGINBronwyn thought the hardest part of coming home for the holidays would be facing her small town past. She never imagined walking into the Rhiggs estate and feeling her body come alive under the gaze of Trenton Rhiggs, her best friend Eudora's father. He is everything she should not want: older, powerful, and completely forbidden. Trenton Rhiggs is a man who built an empire and commanded respect from everyone around him. Widowed for three years, he buried himself in work and being a father. Then Bronwyn arrived for the holidays and suddenly the girl he remembered became a woman he cannot stop thinking about. Every instinct tells him to stay away but having her under his roof makes that impossible. When a blizzard traps them alone in the massive Rhiggs estate, the attraction neither can deny finally erupts. What starts as one stolen night becomes an addiction neither can quit. They know it is wrong. They know Eudora can never find out. But some cravings are too powerful to resist. Their secret burns hotter every day until someone sees something they should not have. A business rival discovers the affair and threatens to expose Trenton unless he backs away from a major deal. Bronwyn becomes leverage in a dangerous game. Now Trenton has to choose between protecting his empire or claiming the one woman he was never supposed to touch. Their forbidden desire might cost them everything but walking away feels impossible.

My voice shook."I don't know. The number's blocked."I stood and started pacing. "Someone was at the cabin, during the storm. They saw us.""Bronwyn.""They were right outside the window, taking pictures while we were together."Trenton grabbed my shoulders. "Look at me. We're going to figure this out."Another text came through. He looked at the screen and his expression went dark."What does it say?"He handed me the phone.*Mr. Grayson would like to revisit your conversation. He's prepared to be more persuasive.*"Stellan." Trenton's voice was cold. "He hired someone
Chapter fourteen - Worshipping her bodyTrenton's POVI did.She moaned into the kiss as I pulled her flush against me, her legs wrapping around my hips. My hands roamed her curves greedily, gripping her ass and pulling her center against the bulge rapidly swelling in my slacks. She ground against me, rubbing her heated core along the hard length of my shaft."Fuck, you feel so good," I growled, nipping at her bottom lip. "I need to be inside you. Right now."She fumbled with my belt, yanking it open and undoing my fly. I shrugged off my suit jacket and unbuttoned my shirt, never breaking the desperate, searing kiss. She ran her hands over my bare chest, nails raking lightly across my skin as she tugged my shirt free from my waistband.I tugged her blouse up over her head and unfastened her bra with deft fingers, revealing her perfect, full breasts. I cupped them, thumbing
CHAPTER 13: Freedom and RiskTRENTONThe house felt different without everyone else in it.Bronwyn stood in my bedroom doorway looking uncertain. "I should probably go to the guest room.""Why?""I don't know. It feels weird just assuming."I pulled back the covers on my side of the bed. "Stay."She crossed the room and climbed in next to me. I turned off the lamp and pulled her close. Her head rested on my chest. My arm wrapped around her waist."This is nice," she whispered."Yeah."We lay there in the dark listening to each other breathe. There was no sneaking around or fear of getting caught. It was just us."What happens when Christmas ends?" she asked. "When I go back to Boston?"I'd been avoiding that question for days. "I don't know."
CHAPTER 12: Breakfast and BetrayalsBRONWYNThe cafe was busy for the day after Christmas. Families crowded around tables. The smell of coffee and pancakes filled the air. I spotted Huxley at a corner booth near the window.He stood when I approached. "Bronwyn. Thanks for coming.""I said I'd hear you out."We sat and ordered coffee. The waitress left menus but neither of us looked at them."You look good," Huxley said. "Different somehow.""It's only been a few weeks.""I know. But something's changed." He leaned forward. "I've been thinking a lot since you left, about us and about what I did wrong.""Huxley.""Please. Let me finish." He took a breath. "I took you for granted. I got comfortable and stopped trying. That was wrong. You deserved better."The waitress came back wi
