Josh's Final Shot

A Steamy Enemies to Lovers Best Friend's Father Romance

I kissed my best friend’s dad… before I knew the truth that could break us.

It started with a storm and a ride home on his motorbike.
Rain in my hair, leather under my fingers, and sparks I couldn’t ignore.

We talked for hours. He listened like I mattered.
He made me forget I was just a twenty-one-year-old single mom trying to hold it together.

Then came the kiss. Hot. Reckless.
The kind that left me dizzy for days.
I should’ve known nothing that dangerous could last.

His name is Joshua Heard. My brother’s best friend.
My son’s hero. And worse—my best friend’s dad.

Now the walls between us are thin, the tension hotter than the Florida sun, and his secret could tear everything apart.
But when my little boy vanishes, he’s the only man I trust to bring him home.

Neighbors. Enemies. Forbidden lovers.
And maybe… my final shot at forever.
