After Hours
After Hours
A Small-Town Forbidden Romance
Alli never meant to fall for him.
Eighteen, freshly graduated, and slinging drinks at the town’s no-frills dive bar, she was just looking for a paycheck and a way out of her quiet life. But then Johnny started showing up—twenty-five, devastatingly handsome, and haunted by more than just his late-night whiskey.
Everyone knows Johnny. The town's favorite bad decision. A brooding mechanic with blue eyes that burn and a reputation tangled up with Layla, the town’s resident scandal—and someone else's wife.
But when Alli catches Johnny’s gaze from across the bar, something ignites. Something forbidden. Something explosive. What starts as subtle glances and lingering stares turns into late-night texts, a kiss that ruins them both, and a fire that neither of them can put out.
Just when Alli begins to believe there might be more between them, Layla drops a bomb: she’s pregnant.
Now, Alli must face the truth—was she just a distraction? Or is Johnny just as trapped in his past as she fears?
In a town where everyone talks and secrets are currency, love after hours might be the most dangerous thing of all.
