About this listen

Samantha Knight has been stirring up my emotions and testing my self-control—and my sanity—for years.

She's my best friend's little sister, the one I shouldn't touch but the one I crave the most.

She returns to Rose Haven begging me for a job and storms back into my life.

Designated the Hottest Hunky Billionaire, all I care about is my business, until a moody teenage girl shows up at my doorstep claiming that I’m her biological father.

Somehow between business and parenting, I must keep my hands the hell off my best friend’s little sister with frowns and grouchy remarks.

But our arguments are merely foreplay—friction that sparks into reckless heat.

I know damn well I shouldn’t cross that line.

But no matter how hard I try to suppress my forbidden desires or ignore our age gap…

The fire Sammi ignites inside me threatens to burn through my control.
