Coming home for the holidays was never part of my plan—until loneliness left me with nowhere else to go.Lucas Blackwood is my late father’s best friend.A powerful billionaire.The man who promised to protect me at all costs.Spending Christmas under the same roof was supposed to be safe.Instead, stolen glances, quiet nights, and falling snow awaken feelings I’ve buried for years.He tells me I’m off-limits.I tell myself he’s forbidden.But during a season meant for miracles,some promises begin to crumble—and love becomes the greatest risk of all.
