Beautiful Crazy

As a single mom with my hands and heart full, finding love is the last thing on my mind. Then Everett Windward comes along. My new neighbor is charming, handsome, and sexy-and before I know it, I have a new friend...with benefits. Fun and filthy benefits. There's just one problem-He's also my son's teacher. That alone should have me pumping the brakes... except it doesn't. I'm drawn to him and to the way he makes me feel. Everett has a filthy side that has reignited something inside of me that I haven't felt in years. Something I thought I lost. But there are rules... My son can't know. No sleeping over. And absolutely no feelings involved. But as time goes on, it becomes impossible to ignore the butterflies in my stomach when I catch him looking at me, or when I watch him play ball with my son day after day. Before I know it, he's so intertwined in our lives, and I can no longer deny the desire to break the very rules that I put into place to begin with. But it's not just my feelings I have to consider. I can see how quickly my son is becoming attached to him. See the way he yearns for that father figure in his life. We have experienced enough hurt and loss to last a lifetime. Can I really open up our hearts, knowing the risk I'm taking?
