Love isn’t always convenient. Sometimes it’s forbidden.Rhys Hawthorne is drowning in grief and artistic burnout when the last complication he needs walks straight into his heart in the form of family employee, Early Stevens, a vulnerable, searching soul he doesn’t dare touch, but who he can't resist.Early is learning who they are, what they want, and how to survive after being rejected by their parents. Wanting Rhys might be dangerous, but denying their feelings hurts just as much. And then a naughty misunderstanding ends up with Early far more “exposed” than they ever thought they’d be.One night changes everything.And sometimes, breaking the rules is the only way forward.
