Love Me After by Autumn Fielding

Willow lost everything the day her father died.
Her grief consumed her, taking away her sense of self, her future, and the home she once cherished. Now, she has been forced to move back in with the mother who abandoned her for a new family, leaving her trapped in a place that has never felt like home. River, her half-brother, is the only reason she stays. The only thread keeping her tethered to the world. And even that is starting to fray.

Then there’s Elijah Reed Lawson.
Ruggedly handsome, tattooed, and impossibly magnetic. A mechanic with oil-stained hands and a quiet patience that melts her defences. He’s River’s father. The man she swore she hated. The last person she should want. And yet, he makes her feel alive again.

He teases her into laughter, draws her back to dancing, and ignites a fire she thought grief had killed. One look, one touch, and the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore.
Loving him is forbidden.
He’s her half-brother’s father.
Her mother’s husband.

But can she resist the man who makes her feel wanted, desired, and alive—no matter the cost?
