Publisher Description
With one scowl, I fell just that much harder for Callum Ashford—NFL star turned small town brewer. He’s not only older, but he’s my brother’s best friend. Two very important reasons I should stay away.
Only two years ago, after the worst night of my life, he kissed me and I can’t keep him off my mind.
When the only house available to rent in town happens to be the one across the street from him, the close proximity does its work.
We can’t keep our hands off each other. Yet as the heat rises, so do feelings. He might want me, but he wants peace more.
There’s a darkness within him I know he fights. Just as there are secrets his family needs to uncover. But when the danger comes full force, it won’t be from the obvious corner. No, we both have our pasts we chose to hide.
And our fears.
Yet when I break, he catches me.
And I hope I have the strength to do the same.
**Legacy is an age gap, best friend’s little sister, small town romance and the first in the Ashford Creek series featuring Callum and Felicity. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

Angsty and Spicy Age-Gap Romance
Felicity and Callum’s story is slow-burn, spicy age-gap romance with some angst, and family drama included. They have known each other for years, but Callum has always seen her as his best friend’s much younger sister until two years ago when everything changed. He stepped in to rescue Felicity from a nasty situation and her thank you kiss sparked a thirst for her that he has resolutely buried. His family’s sordid past, especially his father’s, as well as his friendship with her brothers, makes pursuing his interest in her untenable. He pushed her away then and now that she is back home after finishing college, Callum makes sure to keep his distance. In a small town like theirs, and given the friendship between their families, that proves to be difficult.
Felicity and Callum have plenty of intense and super heated chemistry. He has dirty talk mastered, and she proves to be a willing student of the sensual arts. They have love and loyalty to their families in common, as well as a love for their hometown and community at large. Callum’s need to safeguard and protect those he cares for, including Felicity, is always evident. He is the grumpy, growly with a heart of gold that he tries to hide and deny, but those close to him have always known it was there. Felicity brings sweetness and light into his life, and to those who get to know her. She stands up for herself, is set on being fully independent, and knows what she wants. She loves the overprotective males in both her family and Callum‘s but she is not about to let them wrap her up in bubble wrap, or dictate her every move. Loving Callum is both the easiest and hardest thing she has ever done and she fully intends to build a future with him. I love the small town setting of this book where the citizens know each each other‘s business are not above meddling, but step up to support their own.
This incredible book has my heartfelt recommendation.
