Neither one expected the forbidden relationship but neither one could resist the feelings involved. Who could possibly anticipate a skinny dipping adventure could turn into the love of a lifetime? One thing is sure. There will be a great deal of heat in the little town of Redleaf River, and things will never be the same for Lori and her StepDaddy.

All I want to do is go on my Memorial Day trip with my friends, but in order for that to happen, I’m going to have to find a way to convince my stepdad to let me out of my punishment. Sure, it’s my fault I’m stuck working at the hotel to pay off the damage I caused, but I’m 18 years old, and I deserve to have some fun! I don’t want to be stuck in Rockwell Pass! It’s far too small a town for any real fun. When I see my stepfather at his job, though, an idea comes to me. I never knew how authoritative and strong he could be.

When Kirsten discovers her fiancé is cheating on her in college, she’s devastated. She doesn’t mean to go a little crazy, but the nearest person is her fiancé’s father and she runs to him. She doesn’t intend to throw herself at him, and she never expects him to take what she’d been saving for her fiancé! Once it happens, though, Kirsten discovers she can’t get enough. Sure, it’s forbidden. In fact, it’s about as forbidden as a relationship can get. That may be true, but Kirsten has no intention of letting this taboo relationship go. Can she find a way to a happily-ever-after?

They know their love is forbidden but when this older man takes control, there’s nothing she can do but do exactly what he wants. He wants her. All of her. And he’ll have it.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I'd never been able to forget - even though he so easily forgot about me - and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you've had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless prank call. Instead I went off on him - unloading 13 years of pent-up emotions. I didn't think he'd call me back.
