Shameless Desires

At twenty, Nyra has loved one man for as long as she can remember, Ahar, her older brother's best friend. Stoic, untouchable, and maddeningly out of reach, Ahar has never looked at her as anything more than the little girl who once followed him like a puppy. But Nyra is done being the good girl. Desperate and shameless, she's ready to do whatever it takes to make him see her as a woman, not a memory.

Ahar, 24, is disciplined, guarded, and fiercely loyal, especially to his best friend. He's spent years suppressing every forbidden thought about Nyra, clinging to boundaries that keep her at arm's length. But Nyra's obsession burns too hot to ignore. One teasing moment becomes a stolen night, and when morning comes, he breaks her heart with cruel words and walks away, leaving her behind.

He doesn't know he's also leaving behind their unborn child.

Broken but not destroyed, Nyra chooses herself. She buries the pain, raises her son in silence, and rebuilds her life without the man who once made her feel everything and nothing all at once.

Fate brings Ahar back five years later, but nothing is the same.

The girl who once worshipped him is now a woman he can't stop thinking about. The woman who once burned for him now holds a secret that could change everything. But Nyra isn't the same girl who begged for his attention. And she won't let herself be shattered again.

Will Ahar fight for the family he never knew he had? Or will his return only reopen the wounds she's spent years healing?
