À quarante ans, Reine pense avoir trouvé la sérénité en épousant Richard, un homme doux et attentionné de vingt ans son aîné. Mais cette tranquillité est mise à mal lorsque Gabriel, le fils de Richard, débarque pour passer l'été sous leur toit. Gabriel, vingt-cinq ans, est tout ce que Reine exècre : arrogant, cynique, et il ne lui adresse que des regards glacés et des piques assassines. Il lui reproche d'avoir épousé son père pour son argent et voit en elle une opportuniste. La tension entre eux est palpable, un mélange explosif de mépris et d'une attraction indéniable qu'ils luttent farouchement de dissimuler. Tout bascule lors d'un orage violent, alors que Richard est absent. Une dispute particulièrement violente les laisse seuls, trempés et frémissants de rage. Les insultes cèdent soudain la place à un silence lourd, puis à un baiser sauvage et libérateur. Ce premier contact est l'antichambre d'une passion dévorante et interdite. Ils se retrouvent en secret, transformant leur haine en un désir brut et obsessionnel. Les combats d'arguments deviennent des joutes sensuelles, chaque réconciliation est célébrée sur les draps froissés de l'alcôve la plus proche. Ils explorent leurs corps et leurs limites, découvrant que sous la rancœur se cache une complicité inattendue et une vulnérabilité partagée. Mais l'ombre de Richard plane sur leur liaison. Chaque mensonge pèse lourd sur la conscience de Reine, déchirée entre son affection pour son mari et sa passion déraisonnée pour Gabriel. Ce dernier, quant à lui, doit affronter son propre ressentiment envers son père et les sentiments complexes qui le lient à la femme qu'il était censé haïr. Leur histoire peut-elle survivre à la trahison et au poids du secret, ou n'était-elle qu'un feu de paille, condamné à se consumer dans la culpabilité ?
