Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died.
Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather.
She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas...
Elijah Park.
Her step-uncle.
Her professor.
The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about.
He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once.
And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire.
One look and she's undone.
One touch and she's his.
This isn't just love.
It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both.
Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for.
