LOGINHe’s old enough to be her father. He’s also the only man she can’t stop thinking about. When nineteen-year-old Kate moves into the lavish estate of her father’s best friend, the enigmatic and sinfully attractive William Carter, she tells herself it’s only temporary. She has a boyfriend. A future. A plan. But that all begins to unravel the moment she steps into William’s world. What starts with innocent glances turns to stolen moments of obsession. A hidden room filled with dark desires. Late-night sightings that spark jealousy she has no right to feel. And dreams that make her wake up breathless. He’s untouchable. Off-limits. Twice her age. And yet... her body, her mind, and her heart betray her at every turn. As her boyfriend Jeremy pushes for more, and William remains infuriatingly composed, Kate finds herself caught in a dangerous pull between the safe love she’s always known and the forbidden fire that threatens to consume her. Some lines should never be crossed. But what if the man on the other side is everything you’ve ever wanted?
View MoreWilliam's POV The kiss ignited like gasoline on an open flame, and every ounce of restraint I’d clung to for months went up in roaring, uncontrollable fire.One second I was gripping the edge of the couch like a lifeline, jaw locked against the tidal wave of lust crashing through me. The next, Kate’s soft “Please” shattered what was left of my sanity. My hand moved of its own accord, sliding to the nape of her neck, fingers threading into her silky hair as I yanked her forward. Our mouths collided—hard, desperate, starving. The moment her lips parted under mine, I was lost.God, she tasted sweet and warm, with the faintest hint of mint and something purely feminine that drove me insane. My tongue swept into her mouth, claiming her in deep, filthy strokes that made her moan softly against me. That little sound vibrated straight to my cock, which was already painfully hard, straining against my jeans like it had a mind of its own. I pulled her closer, half-dragging her onto my lap until
Kate's POV My heart hammered against my ribs as Mr. William’s voice trailed off, the story of that fiery car wreck still hanging heavy in the air between us. The living room felt smaller, warmer, the soft glow of the lamp casting long shadows that danced across his strong jaw and the faint lines around his eyes. I sat there on the edge of the couch, knees pressed together, trying to look like the sweet, grateful daughter he expected—eyes wide, lips slightly parted in awe. But inside, my mind was a whirlwind of filthy, aching need.God forgive me. The story was beautiful, raw, and touching—my father risking everything to pull a stranger from twisted metal and roaring flames. Yet all I could focus on was the man telling it: the way his broad shoulders filled out his shirt, the deep rumble of his voice, the subtle flex of muscle in his forearm as he gripped that whiskey glass like it was the only thing keeping him grounded. I wanted him. Badly. I wanted those large hands on my skin, wan
William's POV The memory hit me like a punch to the gut as I sat across from Kate in the dimly lit living room, the weight of the past pressing down on my chest. Flames flickered in my mind—real ones, from that twisted night years ago—not the heroic version I’d just spun for her. I leaned back against the leather couch, my fingers tightening around the glass of whiskey I’d been nursing, the amber liquid catching the low light like liquid fire. The air between us felt thick, charged with something I couldn’t name, or maybe didn’t want to.“I never knew,” Kate said softly, her voice pulling me back. Her eyes, wide and glistening with unshed tears, searched mine under the soft glow of the lamp. She tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear, the simple gesture making her look so vulnerable it twisted something deep inside me. “He never told me that.”I forced a smile, but it felt brittle, like it might crack under the guilt clawing at my ribs. Dawson—slender as a reed back in those col
Kate's POV I didn’t know Mr. William was in the car when Jeremy drove me home, so when he came out of his car right as Jeremy was kissing me, I was left both startled and embarrassed in the worst way. I mean, this wouldn’t be the first time Mr. William had seen me kissing Jeremy, but today felt different. Those other times I had been kissing Jeremy to either make him jealous or to spite him because I was jealous he was with another woman. Today I had no idea he was watching, so when he stepped out, I felt caught. I actually felt like I was cheating on him.Imagine feeling like you are cheating on a man I have no relationship with, with my own boyfriend?Isn’t that crazy?!“Mr. William, you are here,” I didn’t know when the words came out of my mouth as I moved away from Jeremy, my cheeks burning hot.“Yeah. I came back not too long ago. Was just sorting a few things inside the car,” he said, and I couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind as he approached us. His eyes were dark, in
Kate's POV Coming back home from lectures I tossed my backpack on the floor and called out, “Mr. William? Are you home?” But the mansion was quiet—too quiet.Curiosity got the better of me. Maybe he was upstairs? I walked toward his room, noticing the door was slightly open. Pushing it gently, I s
Kate's POV The house was too big.Not big like 'spacious with good lighting.' Big like is this a resort or did I get the address wrong?I stood in front of the massive black iron gate, my backpack slung over one shoulder, a small suitcase dragging behind me like it was just as tired as I was. My p
Kate's POV We were heading down the familiar route toward Mr. William’s mansion—the long, tree-lined drive that always felt like crossing into another world. The streetlights flickered past in slow golden pulses, but every mile tightened the knot in my stomach. I couldn’t stop picturing that night
Kate’s POVThe moment I stepped into the club, I knew my dress was a bold choice. Black, tight, backless, and scandalously short. Jeremy’s eyes nearly fell out of his head, and I pretended not to notice how proud that made me feel.We moved through the crowd, his hand firm on my waist as we swayed
