Falling for the single dad next door wasn't part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak. I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind. But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis... and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff's uniform. Except his daughter is my student, and he's determined to pretend like our connection doesn't exist. (I'm determined to pretend he didn't see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me. )But soon, he's sneaking over to my house at night-warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn't have. My life is a mess, one I'm still trying to clean up.  But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost. Just when I think I'm on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time. I just hope this is a test we both survive.
