Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life.
Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both.
As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from.
Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?
