You’re not supposed to want straight men. Carson Bitters wants nothing more than to feel his secretary inside him. He dreams of it every day. You’re not supposed to fall in love with them. They won’t love you back. But Carson can’t stop longing for Asher Hall; the man his homophobic father handpicked for him. A living, breathing, giant NO. And yet, every time Asher speaks, every glance, every careless brush of his hand, Carson finds himself wanting more. Needing more. And what starts as longing could destroy everything, or make it unforgettable.

Two men. One was her best friend. The other was her infuriating boss. One is the man she has loved for twelve years. The other is the man she despised with everything in her. Yet on her wedding day, they both stood there, one as the groom, the other as the man who would never let her go. “I tried to bury you. I told myself it was nothing. But watching you love him? That was the first time I understood what hatred really feels like.” One said, his voice filled with resentment sharp enough to cut steel. “I don’t need you to choose me,” the other whispered. “I just need you to know that no matter whose name you take… You will always belong to me.” Forbidden. Addictive. A love so wrong it tastes like sin. A hatred so raw it feels like desire. A twelve-year devotion. A buried obsession. Two brothers. One bride. Some loves are safe. Some loves are reckless. And some are powerful enough to tear a family apart.

Naya n’avait rien demandé. Une vie tranquille, des routines simples, un cœur qu’elle essayait de garder fermé pour éviter les dégâts. Jusqu’au jour où Matek entre dans sa vie… avec son regard qui accroche, son charme qui dérange, et cette manière beaucoup trop dangereuse de la comprendre sans qu’elle parle. Entre eux, l’électricité est immédiate. Un magnétisme presque insolent. Le problème ? Matek n’est pas un homme “simple”. Il traîne derrière lui Lila, son ex, une femme accrochée au passé comme si leur histoire était encore vivante. Elle refuse d’accepter qu’il ne lui appartient plus… et surtout, elle refuse de voir qu’il commence peu à peu à se tourner vers Naya. Naya, elle, avance avec prudence. Elle sent que Matek est un homme qui brûle tout ce qu’il touche, pas par méchanceté, mais parce qu’il aime fort, intensément, dangereusement. Et elle, malgré toutes ses barrières, sent son cœur trembler à chaque fois qu’il s’approche. Mais il y a aussi ces zones d’ombre autour de Matek, ces secrets qu’il garde, ces blessures qu’il cache. Leur lien évolue dans un équilibre fragile entre passion naissante, tensions explosives et sentiments qu’ils n’assument pas encore. À mesure que Lila se mêle de leur histoire, que les émotions deviennent incontrôlables, et que les vérités s’approchent trop près, Naya et Matek se retrouvent face au choix le plus difficile : se rapprocher malgré les risques… ou fuir une attraction qui pourrait tout renverser. Entre douceur, intensité, jalousie, désir et danger émotionnel, leur histoire s’écrit comme une tempête impossible à arrêter.

Kubangun rumah tangga kami di atas fondasi cinta yang kupikir kokoh, mengabaikan tatapan dingin ibu mertuaku, Lidya, yang tak pernah menganggapku pantas. Selama lima tahun, aku bertahan dalam istana megah yang terasa seperti sangkar emas. Namun, surga kecil yang kubangun mulai runtuh. Bram semakin dingin, pelukannya tak lagi hangat, dan puncaknya, di malam ulang tahun pernikahan kami, aku menemukan bukti pengkhianatannya. Bram tidak hanya mengkhianatiku, tetapi wanita itu adalah Renata Sastranegara, pilihan sempurna yang selalu disiapkan ibunya. Perselingkuhan ini bukan sekadar nafsu sesaat; ini adalah konspirasi terencana untuk menyingkirkanku. Mereka pikir aku akan hancur dan menyerah. Mereka salah. Jika pernikahan ini adalah medan perang, aku tidak akan pergi sebelum memastikan benteng yang coba mereka rebut dariku, hancur lebur bersama mereka.
