Pining for Dad’s Best Friend by Daniella Cole

Bailey is only twenty-one years old but has had to grow up fast because of who her family is. Her newest responsibility? Organizing a party for her parents’ twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.

High on the list of guests, of course, is her dad’s best friend.
David is a highly respected, loyal, and disciplined man. He hasn’t seen Bailey in years and is looking forward to seeing his best friend’s bright, sweet daughter again.
Bailey is likewise looking forward to seeing David. He’s always loomed at the forefront of her mind as the kind of man every guy her age should aspire to be.
Neither could have anticipated the spark between them growing into a burning flame as the night goes on.
This is the first time Bailey has felt this way about a man. Dizzy and grounded at the same time. Swept up. In over her head.
She is obsessed with the idea of him being her first. She wants to feel his lips on hers, his hands around her waist — she’s never felt more like a woman than when he turns his possessive gaze toward her.

And David? He is feeling things he thought impossible. Things he thought he’d never feel again. Feelings that are more than he bargained for. Feelings he cannot deny.
The obsession goes both ways, and he knows he will not leave until he claims all of her — body, mind, and soul.
By the end of the party, she’ll be his.
And if David has his way, the end of the party will not be the end of his time with Bailey.
It’s only the beginning…

No matter who tries to keep them apart.
