Mara Quinns has loved Elio Marins her entire life. Handsome, untouchable, and openly gay, Elio has never returned her feelings—and despises the idea that she could ever have him. But when an arranged marriage forces them together, Mara’s relentless obsession collides with Elio’s pride and resistance. What begins as resentment and fury turns into a dangerous, intoxicating dance of control, tension, and forbidden desire. In a world of wealth, power, and carefully constructed appearances, Mara is determined to claim the man she has always wanted—even if it means breaking the one person who has vowed never to want her.
