Q: Why can’t I buy this ebook on Fable?

We’re constantly working to expand our catalog, but unfortunately we haven’t yet added this title. While we continue to work with publishers to offer more books for sale, we didn’t want our clubs to have to wait. For popular books that aren’t yet available, we’ve added light versions that can be used to discuss in clubs, to add to lists, and to leave reviews, but are not available to buy or read on Fable. If you need to buy a copy, we recommend visiting your local bookstore or library!

Q: Can I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Publisher Description

JORDAN

He took me in when I had nowhere else to go. He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work.

I have to stop this. It can’t happen.

My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he’s probably unavailable. Only Pike Lawson isn’t the unavailable one.
I am.

PIKE

I took her in, because I thought I was helping. As the days go by, though, it’s becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can’t touch her, and I shouldn’t want to.

But we’re not free to give into this. She’s nineteen, and I’m thirty-eight.

And her boyfriend’s father.

Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.

“This is my 3rd Douglas read and I can’t lie I just feel like all of her books are the same story line in a different font. It might just be me but I find it so incredibly boring when a book with such intense problems which characters supposedly can’t overcome for the first 75% of the book all of a sudden forget they ever had a problem, get married and live happily ever after. It happens EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Without fail in every Douglas book I’ve read. These kinds of books are great for when I’ve just had an intense or hefty read and need to shut off my brain but they certainly aren’t at the top of my recommendations nor do they pass my thoughts again. Done and dusted over and out thanks for the spice but what was the point in reading a 400 page book that ends with “and they all lived happily ever after” boo no thank you🥱”

Limited character growth Predictable Explicit sexual content
