Thomas Cooper Library Columbia Sc

Emma Scott has always had it all—wealth, beauty, and power. As the privileged daughter of a business tycoon, she ruled her university years with confidence, arrogance, and an undeniable presence. But beneath her sharp tongue and ruthless attitude was an obsession she never dared to name—Killian Thomas, the one man who never bowed to her. Killian, a hardworking scholarship student from a middle-class background, despised Emma for the torment she put him through. She was cruel, entitled, and always seemed to have a target on his back. But when one heated argument after class turns into something far more physical, their hatred transforms into an addiction neither of them can resist. What starts as secret, no-strings-attached encounters after lectures spirals into something far more dangerous. They become study partners, but their breaks are filled with untamed passion. One night, they get locked inside the library and spend the entire night indulging in their darkest desires. Their obsession only grows stronger. Upon graduation, Killian is offered a job at Emma’s father’s company, the very place where Emma works. Their sinful rendezvous continue in secret—stolen moments in offices, forbidden trysts during business trips. They think they’re careful, but when Emma’s father catches them in a compromising position overseas, their affair is exposed. Faced with an ultimatum, Emma refuses to back down. She confesses that her bullying was always a twisted way of masking her love for Killian. She threatens to leave everything behind if her father dares to fire him. Forced to confront their true feelings, Emma and Killian finally make their relationship official. But even after marriage, their hunger for each other remains insatiable—whether at home, at work, or in places they should never be. Their passion is reckless. Their love is ruthless. And their temptation?

Léa n’aurait jamais imaginé qu’un simple dîner marquerait le début d’un bouleversement dans sa vie. Elle aimait Thomas, ou du moins, c'est ce qu’elle croyait. Leur relation avait toujours été stable, sans vagues, ancrée dans une routine confortable. Thomas, avec sa douceur et son calme rassurant, lui avait apporté un équilibre dont elle avait tant besoin. Ils formaient un couple harmonieux, ou du moins, c'était ce qu'elle avait voulu croire. Puis, il y avait eu cette rencontre. Théophile, le frère jumeau de Thomas, avait toujours été présent dans leur vie, une ombre familière en toile de fond, avec son sourire charmeur et son esprit vif. Mais ce n’est qu’à ce moment-là, après des années d’équilibre, que quelque chose changea. Ce qui n’aurait dû être qu’une visite anodine de Théophile devint une rencontre déterminante. Les liens qui l’unissaient à Thomas s’effritaient lentement, tandis que ses sentiments pour Théophile grandissaient en intensité. Au fil des jours, son amour pour Thomas s’estompa, et son regard, son cœur, tout en elle n’avait plus d’yeux que pour Théophile. Et bientôt, Léa se retrouva déchirée entre deux hommes identiques en apparence, mais fondamentalement différents en essence. Comment une relation stable et prévisible pouvait-elle être balayée par une passion naissante pour un frère jumeau ? Léa était sur le point de découvrir que l’amour, loin d’être simple, était souvent imprévisible et cruel. Elle avait fait un choix de cœur, mais ce choix allait tout changer – pour elle, pour Thomas, et pour Théophile. L’histoire qui s’ouvrait devant elle n’était plus celle d’un amour unique, mais d’un amour partagé. Un amour pour deux.
