Ophelia
“You’re a bag of trouble, Angel.” Gabriel said, his restraint already cracking.
“I know that already. Now kiss me.”
***
Noel Evander Laurent has spent his entire life trying to prove he isn't a burden.
Fresh out of law school, he expects his first internship to be the start of his independence. Instead, his father drops a bombshell, Noel will be working under his lifelong best friend.
Gabriel August Sterling.
New York's most intimidating attorney.
His boss.
His father's best friend.
And the infuriating man who still insists on calling him Angel.
Noel is determined to keep things professional.
That plan falls apart the moment they're forced to work together... then live under the same roof.
Gabriel is patient, protective, and impossible to read. Noel is sarcastic, stubborn, and determined to fight the feelings he never saw coming. Every stolen glance, every teasing argument, and every quiet moment between them pulls them closer to a line neither of them should ever cross.
But forbidden feelings are only the beginning.
Because Gabriel isn't just hiding his own heart.
He's hiding a secret that could destroy everything Noel believes about his family, his past... and the people he loves most.
Some lines were never meant to be crossed.
Some secrets were never meant to be uncovered.
And some people become impossible to stop loving... even when they should.
