Lucian Moretti, born into wealth and privilege, appears to have it all-a promising future, a seemingly perfect life, and the adoration of those around him. But beneath his flawless façade lies a turbulent inner world, plagued by anger, isolation, and a secret that he dares not share.
When he meets Simphiwe, he is inexplicably drawn to her-captivated by her beauty, her quiet strength, and her vulnerability. She becomes not just another fleeting attraction but the one person who makes him question everything he thought he knew about himself
Bound by family expectations, Simphiwe Khuzwayo's dreams seem impossible to reconcile with the reality of her upbringing. Forbidden from dating, her burgeoning relationship with Lucian must remain a secret-a secret fraught with tension, jealousy, and the weight of unspoken truths.
As their connection deepens, the two must navigate the complexities of young love in a world that seems determined to keep them apart. While Lucian wrestles with his inner demons and Simphiwe battles the constraints of her upbringing, both are forced to confront the harsh realities of their circumstances
In a story where ambition clashes with emotion and secrets hold the power to destroy, they must decide whether their bond is strong enough to endure-or if the cost of holding on will prove too high.

『 𝙉𝙊 𝘿𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙏 』 What happens when a 22-year old lands a job in a restaurant, and meets the owner's son. Excerpt from book: 《 His voice was low, raspy, laced with something of desire, maybe, but all I could hear was lust of the most unchaste kind. "You know, you drive me crazy,... so fucking insane. And it might just be my madness talking, but I have a feeling you want me." He approached, closing the gap between our two bodies. I tried taking a step back, but only felt the cold kitchen counter against my warm trembling palms. "Do you want me, dolcezza?" He whispered against my ear as his hands found their way to my waist. The heat between my legs was insufferable, and my pounding heart drummed against the walls of my chest. In my head, it was clear, I wanted him, but him, of all people? He lowered his hands to my hips and pulled me impossibly closer to him. I let out a shaky breath, that came out as a soft moan. Shit. "Then be a good girl, and say it." 》 ❦❦❦ Read trigger warnings first. I do NOT own any of the pictures or the music displayed in this book.

"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝, 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥." Cassian's voice was a husky whisper against Seraphina's ear, his fingers moving deep inside her as her back arched helplessly against the wall. The air was thick, the danger sharper than the pleasure tearing through her body. Her husband was only a room away. "Be a good little slut for me," Cassian murmured, lips brushing her throat, "or Lucian will hear you, and then he'll know exactly who owns you." Seraphina bit down on her lip, muffling the cry that threatened to break free. Her heart hammered in her chest - guilt, desire, fear - all colliding at once.
