Dean Knight had the life everyone envied: two years with the stunning, fiery Abby Harper and an easy camaraderie with his best friends, Ivy, Ben, and his trusted confidant, Oliver.
That life didn't just end-it imploded when Dean walked in on Abby and Oliver in bed.
Now, two months later, Dean is trapped. He's forced to act like everything is fine, a master of performance who watches his ex and his former best friend together every single day. He wants to hate Abby. He needs to hate her to survive the pain, but every interaction proves his heart hasn't gotten the memo.
And Abby? She's wrapped in guilt, desperately trying to move on with Oliver. She wants to let Dean go, to give him the space he needs to heal, but the connection that defined their lives is impossible to sever.
The tension becomes a suffocating, silent third party in the room.
One late night, the pressure finally snaps. When Dean finds Abby alone, their charged conversation is a dangerous dance of pain and longing. That irresistible friction leads to a desperate, forbidden kiss, quickly escalating into something they never should have shared.
Suddenly, the betrayal is mutual, and the secret is catastrophic. Driven by a passion they can't deny and a resentment they can't escape, Dean and Abby are trapped in a dangerous, illicit affair right under Oliver's nose.
They're playing with fire inside an already fragile friend group. With every stolen touch, the risk of exposure grows. Will Dean finally get the emotional distance he craves, or will this reckless longing destroy the fragile truce-and their lives-for good?
