She's forbidden. She's fire. And the only woman I'll ever crave.
 
I've spent years pushing my feelings for Isabella Ward into the shadows. She's my best friend's daughter, but when she walked back into my life, no longer a girl but a confident, breathtaking woman, the rules I swore to live by began to crack.
 
I'm older and should know better. She's young, vibrant, and far too tempting for a man like me. Every glance, every stolen touch, pushes us closer to the edge of what's right—and into the flames of what we both crave.
 
We thought we could control it. We thought we could walk away. But one blind date changed everything. In a moment of passion and whispered promises, we crossed the line we swore we'd never touch.
 
Now, the stakes are higher than ever. That forbidden night left Isabella with more than just memories—she's carrying my twins.
 
I've built an empire on calculated risks, but losing her? That's not a gamble I'm willing to take. 


We defied every rule and risked everything—and now we could lose it all before we even begin.
