An age-gap forbidden romance between a lawyer and her father's best friend-the one man she was never meant to love. ❄️ Snow Noelle Season was born to win-Harvard Law star, rising associate at New York's most ruthless firm, and the daughter of a legal legend. But when she walks into her first lecture, she's blindsided by the man at the podium: Henry McClean. Her father's best friend. Her lifelong mentor. Now, her professor. He's twenty years older, brilliant, untouchable-and the one man she's sworn never to want. But late nights at the firm turn boundaries into temptation. Every sharp word, every stolen glance, every impossible command blurs the line between duty and desire. Snow has a fiancé. Henry has a wife. Both have everything to lose. In the city where ambition is currency and love is liability, how far will they go before the first rule they break is each other? ⚠️ Content Warning & Disclaimer ⚠️ This story explores a forbidden romance between a married man and his best friend's daughter.
