Reckless
She hasn't been touched in three years.
He's about to change that.
Beverly Thorne spent twenty-one years perfecting the art of disappearing. Smiling when she was breaking. Holding everyone together while her husband stopped noticing she existed. Now she's forty-four, freshly divorced, and on a Caribbean cruise with her best friend Pam—determined to remember who she was before she became invisible.
She's not prepared for Caleb.
He's twenty-eight. He's Pam's son. And six months ago, he found Beverly crying alone in a dark kitchen and said five words that cracked her
You don't have to pretend with me.
Now they're trapped on the same ship for seven days. Shared dinners. Charged glances across the table. A port day in Cozumel where one kiss burns down every wall she's spent decades building.
Beverly knows the rules. He's too young. He's off-limits. His mother is right there.
But Caleb doesn't want her to follow the rules.
He wants her to be seen. Wanted. Claimed.
And Beverly is so damn tired of being invisible.
🔥 This is a steamy, forbidden, age-gap romance with an older woman/younger man pairing, a possessive hero who falls first, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Perfect for readers who Forbidden tropes • Best friend's son • "Who did this to you?" heroes • Cruise ship forced proximity • Explicit heat • Women reclaiming their desire
