Ten Day Affair

I thought I knew who he was when I slept with him.

Board member. Billionaire. My temporary next-door neighbor.

I’d seen him before, watching from behind the OR glass while I got sidelined during surgery.

When he wandered onto my deck like I’d conjured him there, I didn’t stop to ask why.

Wrong house. Right timing.

After the day I’d had, I needed a little spontaneous stranger sex.

The next time I see him, in a perfectly tailored suit, I nearly spit out my coffee.

Lord, help me.

He’s only my neighbor for a few days. What’s the harm in a repeat?

I let him pull me into his bed—and then mine—night after night.

And it’s f*#king amazing.

Cole Houston is off-limits in every way.

Older. Powerful. And only in town for a board vote that could end my residency.

This temporary, casual thing is spiraling fast.

I lie to myself that it’s nothing more.

But I’m not the only one keeping secrets.

And the one he’s hiding? That’s the one that will break me.
