Being the daughter of Elle Sinclair and Luke O'Connor means expectations. Aurora Sinclair was born into wealth, raised with love, and given the perfect life-including the perfect boyfriend, Preston Harrington III. Their relationship is polished, effortless, exactly what her family wants. But then there's Joshuan Carvalho-her brother's best friend. He's nothing like Preston. Rough around the edges, maddeningly stubborn, and completely off-limits. Yet, every stolen glance and lingering touch makes Aurora question everything. She knows the rules. She knows what's at stake. But some lines? Are meant to be crossed.

In Savannah, Georgia Elle Sinclair, a refined Black debutante, and Luke O'Connor, a rugged White mechanic, come from two different worlds destined to remain apart. But when a chance encounter brings them together, their forbidden romance sparks a love connection that challenges them for the unexpected.
