From Jody Kaye, bestselling author and the creator of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets, comes a highly addictive and twisted, secret lovers romance between a medical student and the hunky single dad with a stutter, who works as a handyman at the strip club she dances at. There's a Sliver of Truth hiding behind their steamy hookups. But is it love or simply lust? And what happens when a Mill Girl breaks the cardinal rule?

—Cece—

Men beg to touch my body. Yet, Dusty's moves against mine in unspeaking eloquence.

My heart stammers when we're alone, and he growls my name.

I hate that I love the strength of his arms.

I love that I hate it too. The feeling keeps me sane because when we're apart, doubt creeps in.

I'm ashamed to admit my fears about what happens if everyone finds out we've been hooking up. Along with the guilt comes the horrible thoughts I shouldn't have about Dusty's disability.

Perhaps those emotions are a sign I'm not a good person and there is a sliver of truth that I don't deserve a better life.

After all, what would a single dad really want with a woman who took her clothes off to get to where she is?

Cece & Dusty's love story is perfect for contemporary and new adult & college romance readers who love forbidden workplace taboo, and single parents starting over and ready for their second chance at love.
