Add to basketPaperback. One call.One secret.One man she was never supposed to love. She never expected her past to answer the call. Florence is a 911 dispatcher-calm under pressure, precise with words, and trained to carry other people's emergencies without letting them destroy her. When she moves to a new town for a fresh start, she expects long shifts, new voices, and learning unfamiliar streets. What she doesn't expect is August Calder. A year ago in Seattle, Florence shared a single night with a stranger. No names. No future. Just heat, honesty, and a connection she never forgot. Now August is the town's new-and youngest-chief of police. He's respected, controlled, and completely off-limits. To make matters worse, Florence's new roommate is his adult daughter, turning an already dangerous attraction into something that could cost them everything. As Florence continues to work dispatch-guiding officers, saving lives, and holding the town together through static-filled nights-her connection with August deepens in stolen moments and unspoken truths. But in a town where secrets echo and power matters, love isn't just risky. It's combustible. Restraint is a spicy, age-gap romance about restraint, desire, and what happens when the one person who truly sees you is the one you're never supposed to choose. What You'll Find Inside: Restraint is a small-town romance with feelings, complications, and a whole lot of electricity humming under the surface. An age-gap romance. There's a 15-year age difference between the leads, and yes-one of them is a parent, and the other is their kid's best friend. Everyone is a consenting adult, but the tension? Deliciously inappropriate.Small-town proximity chaos. Everyone knows everyone. Secrets are hard to keep. Glances last too long. Running into each other is. unavoidable. Power dynamics (the emotionally complicated kind). Not coercive, not manipulative-but absolutely charged. The kind where feelings get tangled and lines blur long before anyone admits it. 911 dispatcher life. This book includes references to emergency calls, crisis situations, and the emotional weight that comes with answering the phone when someone else's world is falling apart. Grief, baggage, and second-chance feelings. Past relationships leave marks. People carry history. The story includes memories of the death of a parent, and explores how loss lingers, reshapes love, and makes healing messy and very human. Alcohol, adult language, and grown-up decisions. Spice level: 4.5 out of 5 on the Richter Scale. Translation, it's hot, it's explicit, and when it hits, it hits like a live wire. Expect open-door scenes, strong chemistry, and moments that crackle-much like a charged radio line at 2 a.m. No fade-to-black here. If you like your romance a little electric, you're in the right place.All relationships depicted are consensual and between adults. No laws are broken-just a few personal rules bent beyond recognition. Read responsibly. Fall recklessly. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
