From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Douglas comes a new forbidden-love story.... Jordan: He took me in when I had nowhere else to go. He doesn't use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He doesn't treat me like I'm nothing, take me for granted, or make me feel unsafe. He remembers me, laughs with me, and looks at me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work. I have to stop this. It can't happen. My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he's probably unavailable. Only Pike Lawson isn't the unavailable one. I am. Pike: I took her in because I thought I was helping. She'd cook a few meals and clean up a little. It was an easy arrangement. As the days go by, though, it's becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can't touch her, and I shouldn't want to. The more I find my path crossing hers, though, the more she's becoming a part of me. But we're not free to give into this. She's 19, and I'm 38. And I'm her boyfriend's father. Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house. Birthday Girl is a stand-alone contemporary romance suitable for ages 18-plus.
¡Hola! Me llamo Penelope Douglas y escribo novela romántica, juvenil, erótica, algo de contemporánea… lo que sea que me llame la atención en ese momento. Creo que un buen escritor es capaz de hilar cualquier historia de forma que el lector conecte con ella, y eso es lo que me esfuerzo por hacer con cada libro que escribo. No hay muchos temas que sean demasiado tabú para mí. Me encanta romper las reglas y salir de mi zona de confort.
