I wrote this story for the broken-hearted girl who walked away from love, only to find it in the most forbidden place. This book is messy, fierce, and aching because healing after betrayal never looks perfect, but it can still feel damn good.

It’s not just about forbidden love, it’s about owning your desire, even when the world tells you it’s wrong. I write women who’ve been burned, but come back with fire in their eyes and someone unexpected at their side.

For the woman who walked out of her marriage and into her stepbrother’s arms—not out of weakness, but power. This isn’t just forbidden love. It’s about finding comfort in danger, desire in the unexpected, and a second chance in the arms of the one she was never meant to want.
