Seven years ago, Brayden was too young to get the attention of his woodshop teacher. But he's all grown up now, and the sexy Daddy is exactly who he's been waiting for…

After an incident in a bar with my friends, I wasn't sure I would ever want to start dating again. Going out means potentially running into one of the men who tried to hurt me—or someone even worse. So I focus on my work at the shop, play by myself at home, and try to not to feel envious of the amazing relationship Max has with his new Daddy. It's a lonely life, but it's safer this way.

Ethan thinks he's seen a ghost when a boy from his past—a boy who is now very much a man—walks out of the auto shop he takes his most beloved possession to. He hasn't thought much about Brayden Baxter since the boy graduated seven years ago.

But now, that boy is all he can think about.

And when the nightly hang-ups start, Ethan has a pretty good idea who is responsible for them. He just needs the boy to make the first move, so he can finally pursue the heat that sparked between them long before it should have.
