Loving My Enemy's Brother

BLURB Falling in love with the enemy. A sin with no forgiveness. My name is Clara James. I am nineteen years old, living in a hell wrapped in silk. My parents split when I was ten, after my father betrayed my mother with his personal secretary. Six years ago, I lost my mother in a car accident. I moved in with my father. That is when the real hell began. From the moment my father married Emilia Cole, my life turned into a war. She did not just destroy my childhood. She did not stop at the trauma that hunted me after the attempts to touch me. She made abuse and cruelty a daily routine. But I did not break. And I will never kneel. Everything changed when the wrong man walked into my life at the wrong time. Adrian Cole. Emilia’s brother. Older than me. Cold. Distant. A mystery wrapped in silence. A criminal investigator hunting a serial killer through the streets of my city. His touch was forbidden. His closeness was dangerous. Yet he was the only one who held me when I collapsed. The only one who cleaned my wounds with his own hands. The only one who gave me a sense of safety I had never known. But how do I trust a man born into a family that tried to kill me? Especially after Adrian uncovers a deadly betrayal inside his case. A betrayal that could destroy us both. I love him to the edge of ruin. And when the enemy is closer than we ever imagined, does love save us, or does it kill us?
