HESTIA: Hooked (Aristocrat #5)
Amid the somber stillness of a funeral, a nineteen-year-old grappling with grief and anger met a woman four years his senior, whose presence seemed both enigmatic and intrusive. Their relationship began on uneven ground, clouded by misunderstandings and mistrust. He thought she was his father's mistress; she was, in truth, his father's brightest mentee. In the world of academia, where intellect reigned and ambition thrived, they became bound by a connection they couldn't ignore.
What followed was a whirlwind romance, intense and forbidden, fueled by unspoken desires and the thrill of defying expectations. But passion was not enough to overcome the walls they built around themselves. Pride clashed with principle, and their love-however undeniable-collapsed under the weight of their differences, leaving behind shattered hearts and unfinished stories.
Four years later, time brings them together again. Older, wiser, and no less haunted by their past, they find themselves at a crossroads. Resentments long buried resurface, along with feelings neither has dared to confront. As they navigate the tangled threads of their history, they are forced to question whether the fire that once burned between them was a fleeting spark or an enduring flame.
