Tessa Morgan never wanted to step into her sister's world this way.
Taking care of Lauren was supposed to be simple-helping the sister she loves through illness, standing by her side, no matter the cost. But there's nothing simple about the way Tessa feels when Adrian Moore looks at her.
He's her sister's husband. A good man. Someone she could never hurt. And yet, his quiet strength has become the one thing Tessa can't stop wanting-and absolutely cannot have.
Adrian knows what's at stake. Lauren is everything to him. But Tessa? Tessa makes him feel alive in a way he forgot was possible. Every touch, every shared glance hangs on the edge of guilt and desire. Every unsaid word swings between the truth and lies.
But when the truth comes to light, they'll risk shattering the one woman they both swore to protect.
And lies aren't meant to hold this much weight.
"It's a line they can't cross, so they meet at the edge of almost."
