A Steamy Age Gap Small Town Romance
Garrett Wright spent fifteen years perfecting the art of being invisible in Millbrook until Ivy walked into the hardware store and corrected his stain choice like she had every right to.
She’s twenty-seven, brilliant at her job, and too young for him to be standing in a theater parking lot at midnight helping her rebuild a collapsing set. But when a passing car slows just long enough for the driver to notice them together, Garrett realizes hiding was never an option. In a town of three thousand people, everyone’s already watching. Some think he’s taking advantage. Others think she doesn’t know what she’s getting into. And Garrett? He’s convinced they might be right.
Ivy isn’t interested in his shame or his carefully managed distance. She wants honesty, visibility, and a man who’ll stop treating their twenty-year age gap like a problem that needs solving. But choosing her means facing Millbrook’s judgment and the possibility that wanting someone this much makes him exactly what everyone assumes.
The gap between them isn’t going away. The question is whether he’ll let fear decide what he deserves, or finally believe that some things are worth being seen for.
