Stolen by my Dad best friend

At twenty-one, Tessa Hale is tired of being betrayed. After catching her boyfriend, Blake Monroe, cheating yet again, she finally walks away from the relationship she once believed would last forever. But moving on becomes complicated when her father sends his longtime best friend, Daven Morgan, to bring her home during a storm. Daven is thirty-eight, successful, protective, and everything Blake never was. He is also the one man Tessa should never want—the best friend of her father and a man seventeen years older than her. What begins as an innocent ride home soon becomes a dangerous attraction neither of them can ignore. Lingering looks, unexpected jealousy, and stolen moments slowly blur the line between friendship and desire. Then Tessa meets Rose, Daven’s twenty-year-old daughter, and an unexpected friendship draws the two families even closer. But there is more beneath the surface than either family realizes. While Tessa struggles with her growing feelings for Daven, Blake refuses to accept that she has moved on. When he publicly humiliates her at their class reunion by revealing a deeply personal secret, Daven steps in to defend her—and Blake decides revenge is the only way to get her back. Jake Hayes, Tessa’s charming classmate, also enters the picture, offering her the genuine affection she deserves. Suddenly, Tessa is caught between the man from her past, the man who wants her future, and the man she was never supposed to love. As jealousy turns dangerous and hidden family secrets begin surfacing, Tessa must finally choose for herself. Will she return to the love that betrayed her, choose the safe path with Jake, or risk everything for Daven—the one man who could cost her family, her future, and her heart?
