Your father abandoned you at four. Sixteen years later, your mother throws you out. With nowhere else to go, you call the man who never came back. And discover something devastating. He has a beautiful home. A loving partner. A nine-year-old son. And Preston Howe. 23. Six-foot-five. Basketball captain. Filthy rich. Arrogant. Ridiculously handsome. The golden boy of your university. When Preston’s parents died, your father took him in. Raised him. Loved him. Never missed a single basketball game. He became the father to Preston that he never was to you. And Preston? He absolutely HATES that you’re back. Because he’s terrified you’ll take his place. Unfortunately, you now share a house. And a university. And somewhere between vicious arguments, basketball games, stolen glances and midnight encounters… Hatred starts looking dangerously like something else. Except your father finally has his daughter back. And the boy he raised is falling in love with her. Funny. Preston spent so long making you feel like you didn’t belong. All because he was terrified that one day, someone might make him feel the same. 💔 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄

@whoknowsthisassSixteen years. That’s how long it’s been since Jonathan Hayes last held your hand. You were four when your father left. Twenty when your mother threw you out.
