Gabe Hamilton spots Mia Crestwell across the ballroom at his hotel's grand opening. She's his best friend's little sister, which should make her off limits. But Mia isn't little anymore, and Gabe has waited years to act on his desires. Mia has fantasized about Gabe since her teenage years, when she nursed a massive crush on her brother's older friend. The fourteen year age gap once seemed insurmountable, but now she's an adult ready to pursue her secret longings. Gabe draws Mia into his demanding world, where his expectations prove more exacting than she anticipated. Their connection grows intense and consuming as they navigate from clandestine encounters to deeper emotions. But their affair threatens to surface, exposing them both to a betrayal more personal than either imagined.
