Birthday Girl
Jordan is at a crossroads in her life. Trapped in a dead-end job and in a faltering relationship, she has nowhere to turn when her boyfriend, Cole, suggests she move in with him and his father. Faced with few alternatives, Jordan agrees, planning to contribute to the household in return. What she doesn't foresee is the magnetic pull she feels every time Pike, Cole's father, drives into the driveway or the spark that ignites whenever their eyes meet over breakfast.
Pike Lawson is not what Jordan expected. He's attentive, kind, and protective—qualities she's seldom encountered in men before. He listens to her in a way that makes her feel valued and seen. Yet there’s a catch: Jordan is his son's girlfriend, making their growing bond fraught with tension and unspoken boundaries. Her sister once warned her that good men are hard to find, and if you do find one, he's likely taken. Despite the connection she feels with Pike, it is Jordan herself who is unavailable.
For Pike, having Jordan in his home is anything but simple. He finds himself drawn to her in ways he cannot ignore or wish away. Each encounter, each shared glance, makes it harder to deny the burgeoning feelings he has for her. However, the weight of their circumstances hangs heavy—he is, after all, the father of her boyfriend. The lines between right and wrong blur as their days together unfold, pushing both towards a precipice they may not be able to step back from.
Birthday Girl unfolds as a gripping journey through the forbidden and the uncertain, peeling back the layers of desire, morality, and societal expectations. Penelope Douglas masterfully intertwines emotion and temptation, creating a narrative that will leave readers questioning their own boundaries and beliefs about love.
Discover the electrifying story that has captivated a global audience and delve into the intimate, added content exclusive to this edition. With aching passion and tender interactions, Birthday Girl is more than a love story—it's an exploration of identity and desire, set against the backdrop of societal norms and personal ethics.
