Worth the Risk

A Small Town Age Gap Romance

By: Lara Taylor

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She’s my daughter’s best friend. Half my age. Completely off-limits.

I came back to Pine Falls to pack up my parents’ house and mend the fragile bond with my estranged daughter, Maggie. Facing her—and her father, the town’s overbearing sheriff—is hard enough.

But then there’s Nora Martinez. Maggie’s best friend. The girl who used to hang around my kitchen table… now a stunning, confident woman who takes my breath away.

What starts as a stolen glance becomes something I can’t control—a connection I’m powerless to resist. Every moment with Nora feels electric, dangerous, and utterly forbidden.

I know it can’t last. Secrets like ours have a way of destroying everything. And when Maggie finds out I’ve crossed the ultimate line, the life I’ve been trying to rebuild might come crashing down.

But how can I let her go when she’s the only one who makes me feel alive?
