The Years Between Us by Stephanie Vercier

At the tail end of her first year away at college, Claudia Cartwright narrowly escapes a two-month trip to Florida with her overbearing and controlling parents. She instead finds herself in Echo Ridge, Washington, a small town in the mountains where she is the guest of her dorm-mate, Danielle, and Danielle’s very attractive father, Luke Prescott. As Claudia settles into town, hoping to fully utilize her two months of freedom, she also attempts to stifle her attraction to Luke. But trying to deny something so strong might just be impossible.

Luke Prescott has always devoted himself to his family, even if part of that family is now fractured. When his daughter brings a friend from college home unexpectedly, he is unable to overlook the young woman’s beauty or the way she makes him feel. But Luke is a decent man, the kind of man who would give up his own happiness in order to care for others. Nonetheless, there is something about Claudia that makes him willing to put everything on the line and will force a collision of his past and his present.
