Then, a sweet, gorgeous coworker needs help, and I find myself offering up more than I should.
With Cameron Wright temporarily living with me, pretending to be my girlfriend, the lines begin to blur fast. Sheâs in my space and I suddenly have free rein to hold and kiss her.
Helping her might very well be my downfall.

Until one day, that past returns and is ready to rekindle our old relationship.
