"Every touch is a memory. Every kiss is a lie. And every night, he'll be wishing it was me." Eleanore knows how to survive: keep your head down and play dumb. Especially around Hayden. He's reckless fury wrapped in expensive tailoring, destined for a crown and a fiancée on the other side of the world. The safe boy from her childhood is gone. In his place stands a dangerous stranger whose dark truth is about to shatter her entire reality. Now, he's pinning her to a desk, his breath hot against her skin, weaponizing his desire just to see her crack. He claims he's leaving to keep her safe. She claims she's letting him go. But the friction between them is electric, toxic, and completely undeniable. One of them is walking away. One of them is lying about the reason why. He was meant to rule. She was meant to be his. ⚠️ Tropes & Warnings: Enemies to lovers, Fated mates, forbidden love, Arranged Marriage, Friends to lovers, love triangle, urban fantasy, forced proximity, right person wrong time. 🔞 Mature Content: Features strong/adult language, intense combat violence, and explicit spicy scenes, smut (mature audiences only).
