Eleanor is a woman wrapped in mystery and beauty, her every move calculated, her every word measured. She lives in a secluded mansion by the sea, where the shadows are long and the secrets even longer. To the outside world, she is the epitome of grace, sophistication, and desire-an irresistible woman whose charm can bring any man to his knees. But beneath her flawless exterior lies a dark secret, one she guards with her life. When Marcus, a wealthy and ambitious businessman, moves to the area, he is immediately captivated by Eleanor's allure. The more he watches her from afar, the more he is drawn into her web of secrecy. There is something about her that feels both forbidden and tantalizing-a mystery he cannot resist. He becomes obsessed, convinced that if he can just get close enough, he will uncover what she hides beneath the surface. What Marcus doesn't know is that Eleanor wears a secret far darker than he could ever imagine-an object she keeps hidden beneath her clothing, something tied to her past and her very soul. It is an object of both power and curse, one that controls her fate and the desires of anyone who comes too close. And Marcus, with his dangerous obsession, may be the one to finally unlock its deadly truth. As the two grow closer, the sexual tension between them crackles like electricity in the air. But with every stolen glance, every brush of skin, Marcus begins to unravel the tangled layers of Eleanor's past-each revelation more shocking and intoxicating than the last. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that in loving her, he might destroy himself. For some secrets are meant to stay buried, and some desires are better left unspoken. When the final truth is revealed, Marcus must decide whether to embrace the darkness that Eleanor carries-or walk away before it consumes them both. This is inspo by the green ribbon! Check em out! :)
