Larah
Elara has nothing left. Her brother is gone, her parents gambled away what family she had, and her dream of dancing professionally is slipping through her fingers. Then the richest man in the country makes her an offer: move into his mansion and make his four estranged grandsons love each other again.
The job sounds simple until she meets them. A ruthless CEO who never loses. A doctor with gentle hands and a guarded heart. A gamer who hides behind a screen. And the fourth young master, the one who corners her in dark hallways, stands too close, and speaks in a voice so low it makes her forget what she was about to say.
He claims he can't stand her. But his eyes linger on her lips when she laughs. His hand catches her waist when she stumbles, and he lets go a second too late. Every glare feels like a challenge, every near-touch like a dare, and every night under the same roof makes it harder to pretend she isn't burning for him.
What she doesn't know is that the man who keeps pulling her close and pushing her away is the idol she has adored for years, the voice she has fallen asleep to, the one who secretly watches every move she makes on stage.
As the walls between them crack, so do the secrets his family has buried, and one of them could destroy him.
How long can two people keep resisting what they both want? And when he finally stops pretending, will she be ready for a love this hungry?
Slow-burn, sensual and full of laughs, this is a story about healing a broken family and falling, helplessly, for the one man she was never supposed to touch.
