It’s Always Been You by Jacob Parker

Love is quickly becoming my least favorite four-letter word. I let a girl into my heart once, and she nearly destroyed me. The last time I saw her she was in the back seat of her father’s car, leaving me forever. No goodbye. No mercy. That was ten years ago. Now the sexy vixen from my past is back in town looking to hire a consultant. This is my way back in. But not for redemption or a second chance. For sticky-sweet vengeance. Her business is the most important thing to her, and I can vengeance—or waste her time trying. If she doesn’t take me down first with curves that make me pace the floor at night. But everything changes when I meet him. Her ten-year-old son. I believe in coincidences, but this is too much. He has my eyes and my middle name, but she swears I’m not the father. Trusting her means dropping walls I’ve spent a decade building trying to keep her out. Unfortunately for me? It’s always been her.
