Summer with Mr. Connolly

You think you know desire. But you know nothing. For twenty-year-old Liv Myers, home is a battlefield of crushing silence. Her only sanctuary is her best friend Tara's house-a place that comes with a complication more thrilling and dangerous than she could ever imagine: Tara's father, Sean. A man carved from grit and shadow, he's twice her age, a single dad, and completely, utterly forbidden. He's the one man she should stay away from, but the only one who makes her feel truly seen.
A quiet understanding ignites into a brazen, secret affair. In the shadowed corners of his workshop, Sean introduces Liv to a world of pleasure so intense it borders on pain. He demands her trust, her surrender, her complete submission. And Liv, who has never felt in control of her own life, finds herself wanting to give him everything. He is her one taboo, her most scandalous secret. But their clandestine world is a fragile one.
Every stolen touch is a risk, every whispered promise a step closer to ruin. When the truth inevitably explodes, the savage fallout threatens to destroy not just their affair, but the lives of everyone they hold dear. In a world where every rule is broken, Liv must decide if the man who taught her the meaning of passion is worth the price of absolute devastation. This is a story of forbidden want, a raw and unflinching dive into the depths of a love that could be the ultimate salvation or the most beautiful, breathtaking ruin.
