Some desires are tempting. Others are dangerous.
Zena Carter has always kept to herself. Quiet, focused and guarded, she's spent most of her life in the shadow of tragedy, raised by a brother who taught her to survive before she could dream of living.
But one night changes everything.
It starts with a club, a glance, a pull she can't explain. Then she meets him. Lorenzo is magnetic and mysterious, a man with secrets etched into every glance and touch. He offers her escape, adrenaline and something darker. Something irresistible.
What was meant to be a moment quickly turns into something else. A connection. A fire. A risk.
When the night pulls her into a dangerous game, Zena discovers some connections are deeper and darker than she ever imagined. As desire begins to blur the lines between right and wrong, she must decide how far she's willing to go for a love that was never meant to be safe.
Because in a world built on lies, power and betrayal, falling for the wrong man could shatter everything.
