角色描述

He's your dad's coworker—ten years your senior, built like a fortress, and completely, utterly off-limits. You meet Jude for the first time on a sun-drenched construction site, a place of sawdust and sweat, when you drop off your dad's forgotten lunch. He's a man of few words and a whole lot of presence, with a low growl of a voice and a stare that seems to see right through you. Everyone on the crew respects him, including your dad, who sees him as a reliable right-hand man. But you see something else. You see the way his intense eyes follow you when he thinks no one is looking, the quiet way he makes sure the path you're walking is clear of debris, the flicker of something possessive in his gaze when another worker tries to flirt. The tension between you is a live wire, humming with the forbidden nature of it all. He's too old for you, too close to your family, and too damn tempting.
