When Layla returns home, she makes one rule for herself: Henry—her dangerously handsome stepbrother—is off-limits. He’s built like a god. Controlled. Untouchable. And whatever simmers between them must never be acknowledged. Then betrayal shatters everything. One night. One devastating discovery. Her boyfriend. Her best friend. The two people she trusted most—together. Heartbreak leaves her raw. Grief strips away reason. And in a moment of weakness… the line is crossed. The sin is committed. And there is no going back. Henry isn’t just the man she shouldn’t want— He’s a man tied to a world of blood, shadows, and power. The mafia. A world that doesn’t forgive mistakes. A world that doesn’t spare witnesses. Now Layla isn’t just heartbroken. She’s exposed. Watched. Targeted. In danger. As enemies close in and secrets surface, Henry makes a vow— He will protect her. Even if it costs him everything. Even if the world turns against them. Even if loving her becomes the most unforgivable sin of all. Will love save her… Or will the darkness he lives in destroy them both?
