Free Fall

I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life but letting Trey Bennett move in might top the list. For months, I resisted him—the smooth-talking, untamed, and way-too-handsome bull rider who somehow got under my skin. But broke is broke, and when he offered to rent my spare room, I couldn’t say no. He was supposed to be recovering. Lying low. Temporary. Instead, he’s fixing things around my house, winning over my grandma, and getting closer than I ever meant to let him. We have rules—boundaries I swore I’d keep—but they don’t mean much when every time he looks at me, I forget why I built walls in the first place. The problem? My past doesn’t stay buried. Danger has a way of finding cracks and the threats are getting louder. Trey is the last person I want caught in the crossfire. The more I fall, the harder it is to keep him safe and I’m not sure love is worth that kind of risk.
