He was the mistake I should’ve walked away from…
But one taste, and I wanted him to ruin me.
He was my brother’s best friend.
Twelve years older. Off-limits. Untouchable.
Until one stolen kiss under the stars…
…turned my world into wildfire.
Now I’m fake-dating a billionaire with a sin-stained past.
Our small town is buzzing.
My brothers are watching.
And someone else—someone dangerous—is too.
Liam Carter is all charm and shadow.
He guards secrets like they’re currency.
And still, I fall. Hard.
I wanted freedom.
What I got was obsession.
Threats. Lies. A game I didn’t agree to play.
Each touch burns. Each glance dares.
And the closer we get,
the deeper the knife twists.
Because love was never the danger.
The truth is.
And it just might ruin us all.
If it doesn’t kill us first.
