Michelle Chiemela
“This is forbidden! You're my best friend's daughter, for goodness' sake!”
I stepped closer, forcing myself not to tremble.
“I know exactly who I am,” I whispered. “But does that really change anything? I know you feel something for me, too. After everything that happened between us, you can't keep pretending nothing has changed.”
I had loved this man for years, silently and obsessively, while he only ever saw me as the young, naive daughter of his best friend.
So I made a plan, wore a mask, and took a chance that would change everything between us.
Now he knows the truth. And neither of us can go back to the way things were.
What lies between us is dangerous, complicated, and forbidden. But if loving him is such a terrible mistake, why can't I bring myself to walk away?
When our secret comes to light, will it destroy everything—his reputation, my family, and whatever future we might have together? And when my father finds out, will there be anything left to save?
