On her wedding anniversary, Ava caught her husband betraying her, and her world came crashing down. She thought divorce would set her free, but in the lonely mansion she shared with his family, she found herself cornered by her father-in-law, Arthur — a man restrained on the surface, yet dangerously wild beneath it. In his eyes burned a desire he had suppressed for years. His fingertips carried a heat that felt both forbidden and irresistible, slowly tearing down every wall she tried to keep intact. Forbidden touches, uncontrollable surrender — this taboo entanglement defied morality from the very beginning, consuming every last trace of reason and restraint.
