After her boyfriend cheats, Melody finds solace in her best friend's father's summerhouse for the holidays. The plan is to recuperate and get hotter. Until him. Silver streaks making up his hair, broad shoulders that fill out a shirt like a threat, a rugged, devastatingly attractive face, nothing boyish—just all man. Ronald Callaghan. Her best friend's father. He's older, powerful, and definitely off-limits. She hasn't seen him in five years, and now she's questioning why her cunt is quivering at the sound of his voice. She panics, calls him ‘Daddy’ out of habit, and catches his pupils…dilate? It gets worse. A quick visit to his wing, and she sees this hulking man in front of a mirror, naked, fist working a heavy cock hard and fast, like he was trying to peel the skin off, a name on his desperate breath. She doesn't know the name is hers. She tries to keep her distance, horrified by her own questionable desires, but nothing is ever easy when it's reciprocated. She's broken and hurt already, then she accidentally finds out this older man wants her—just as badly. She's the woman, the woman he can't stop fucking his fist over. She stops running. She snaps and chases, irrationally, consequences be damned, like a wicked siren. Ronald Callaghan is fucked. He can't cheat on his dead wife. He's respectable in society. She's his daughter's best friend! He rejects her. She comes on stronger. He could easily throw her out, but he does no such thing. He just keeps peeling her clothes off with his eyes. Until she gets to him. She gets him to break. That's when she discovers the monster hidden underneath all that restraint. Power dynamics shift. He doesn't ask. He takes. His head sinks in between her thighs for hours, the kind of ownership that leaves her limping, dripping, whilst still wanting more. Unfortunately, falling for him is never going to remain secret. Their messed-up past is coming at full speed to destroy everything. Melody's life is about to get fucked. Thoroughly, deliciously fucked.
