He was my nemesis for years.
Now his single dad charm has me hooked.
Deacon Reynolds and I were rivals growing up.
It was exhausting trying to outdo him at everything.
I was thrilled when he left our quaint hometown for the city.
I’ve been head of marketing at his parents’ resort for years.
Last week the job I love unraveled.
Deacon showed up out of nowhere, brimming with smugness.
He announced his takeover of the family business.
I can’t believe he’s my new boss.
I’m forced to work with him on a new campaign for the resort.
Spending long hours with a grumpy workaholic isn’t my idea of fun.
But around his daughter, his demeanor transforms; he beams.
Deacon’s playful and affectionate, completely devoted to her happiness.
His magnetic single dad vibe pulls me in like a moth to a flame.
I’m in a tug of war for control, my head battling my heart.
Having feelings for him comes with professional risks.
So I’m trying hard to fight it.
But I can’t stop myself from falling.
