Melissa Carter's life is already complicated enough with balancing a full-time job, college classes in children's illustration, and living under the protective eye of her father, Thomas. The last thing she expects is for her father's best friend, Damien Harlow, to move in with them.
Damien is everything she shouldn't want: older, scarred by his military past, and carrying secrets that threaten to unravel them both. Yet, the pull between them is undeniable. What begins as fleeting glances and accidental moments soon turns into something Melissa can't ignore and something Damien can't resist.
But their fragile bond doesn't exist in a vacuum. Damien's unresolved battles with his ex-wife, with his haunting memories of war, and with the daughter he longs to be present for loom over them. When the truth about his family surfaces, Melissa is forced to decide whether the man she's falling for is worth the risk of heartbreak.
As forbidden lines blur and loyalties are tested, Melissa must navigate the storm of love, family, and sacrifice. And Damien must face the ultimate question: can he rebuild his life without losing the two people who have come to mean everything?
A story of desire, redemption, and the messy ties that bind, "Off Limits" is a slow-burn forbidden romance where love collides with loyalty and nothing will ever be the same again.

Behind those eyes
Damian Cole has one rule before he can inherit his father's empire: he must get married. Love isn't required. Attachment is unnecessary. This is business nothing more.

His heart is still buried with the girl he lost years ago... The girl who disappeared without a trace. What he doesn't know is that Sophia is that girl. A devastating accident stole everything from her her face, her name, her memories. By the time she rebuilt her life, the boy she loved had become a man who feels nothing but ice. Now she sleeps beside the man she once promised forever, while he looks at her like a stranger. But secrets don't stay buried. Not when corporate enemies are circling. Not when someone is determined to destroy Damian and the mysterious wife he now depends on more than he'll admit. Not when her truth threatens to break both of them. Behind the face he doesn't recognize... is the love he's been grieving for years. And when he discovers it, nothing will ever be the same.
