The One I Shouldn’t Want (Maple Falls Book 3)

He’s the one man she should stay away from.

And the only one who sees her clearly.

When Elle Morgan arrives in Maple Falls, she isn’t looking for trouble—or love. She’s looking for space. Quiet. A chance to choose her life without explanation.

What she doesn’t expect is Noah Callahan.

Controlled. Respected. Untouchable.

Noah has spent years building a life defined by restraint and responsibility. Wanting Elle is a risk he never planned to take—and one the town would never forgive easily.

As small-town scrutiny tightens and the past threatens to resurface, desire becomes dangerous and honesty becomes unavoidable. Because some connections don’t fade quietly.

They demand to be chosen.

The One I Shouldn’t Want is a dark, emotionally intense, dual-POV small-town romance about forbidden attraction, quiet power, and choosing truth over comfort.

Perfect for readers who love:

✔ Forbidden romance

✔ Age-gap tension

✔ Dual POV slow burn

✔ Small-town scandal

✔ Kindle Unlimited binge reads

Sometimes the most dangerous love…

is the one that feels inevitable.
