Millhaven looks perfect from the outside ? tidy lawns, polite smiles, vows spoken under white church steeples. But behind those drawn blinds and polite Sunday nods, some desires refuse to die quietly.

Anna knows she should be the perfect fiancée: soft, faithful, grateful for the gentle boy she's promised to marry. But every polite kiss and cautious touch only makes her crave more ? more heat, more hunger, more of the man who shouldn't want her at all.

Grant Walters raised his son to be a good man. Now he's watching that same son fail to claim the woman he's promised to love forever. And when Anna starts crossing lines she swore she never would, Grant is right there ? older, stronger, ready to take exactly what his son can't hold.

In Millhaven, secrets can bury a marriage before the vows are ever spoken. And Anna's about to learn what it costs to give herself to a man who knows how to use his hands ? and doesn't care who finds out.

A story of betrayal, hunger, and the ruin that blooms when a promise means nothing next to raw want.
