From the USA Today bestselling author of Still Beating and The Wrong Heart comes a forbidden, slow-burn age gap romance with high angst and plenty of heat.

***

Before he discovered my age, he discovered my heart.

Bruised, abused and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.

A chance encounter. An unspoken connection.

I was smitten; he was curious.

But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.

He called me Halley, like the comet.

I called him Reed.

And my best friend?

Well…she called him Dad.
