She looks at him and thinks, "Please don't let him be more than twenty-five."
He looks at her and thinks, "Please let her be at least twenty-five."
Neither one of them is.
And that's only one of their problems.
Rye is a man with an ugly past. He didn't come to Baxter, Ohio, looking for a woman, but there she was. Emma is pretty and sweet, and the kind of woman he'd always wanted, but never dreamed he could have. Her innocence and vulnerability tugs at Rye's weary heart, and the sizzling sexual pull between them can't be ignored.
But Emma has a dangerous ex-boyfriend, plus an outraged, overprotective father with a family connection that dooms Rye and Emma's relationship from the start.
That and Rye's dangerous past make it seem impossible for them to have a future together.
