Where We Burn

She was off-limits.
Until she wasn’t.

PIPER:I shouldn’t want him.

I shouldn’t lie awake at night imagining how his hands would feel on my skin.

But Christian Crawford has been my deepest, darkest fantasy from the moment we met.

I’ve tried to bury my feelings for my boyfriend’s dad and pretend that the chemistry between us was one-sided, but every time that cowboy looks at me like I’m already his, I forget who I’m supposed to be loyal to.

He’s the one man I should never touch, and I’ve never wanted anyone more.

CHRISTIAN:She’s the one line I should never even think about crossing.

She’s too young, too wrapped in every kind of wrong, and she’s my son’s girlfriend.

I told myself it was nothing more than a passing thought, but there’s nothing passing about the way I watch her.

There’s nothing innocent about the way I want her.

I know touching her would destroy everything.

But somewhere between the guilt and the longing, I stopped caring.

And now I’m ready to burn it all down for one taste.
