“You shouldn’t look at me like that,” he said, voice low and dangerous. “Like what?” I whispered, even though I already knew. His gaze dropped to my lips. “Like you want to ruin me.” Isabelle Parker’s life is built on hard work—scholarships, late-night shifts, and rules she can't afford to break. She can’t afford mistakes. Not when everything she has depends on keeping her record clean. But then Professor Noah Miller walks into her life. Mysterious. Brilliant. Devastatingly composed. A man who should’ve been nothing more than a name on her schedule. Except one look at him, and her world starts to spin. He’s older. Forbidden. Her teacher. And yet, every stolen glance feels like a sin waiting to happen. The more she tries to stay away, the deeper she falls—where every touch is a promise and every rule is meant to be broken. He’s the temptation I was never supposed to want. He’s the mistake I can’t stop craving.

Olivia Smith thought she had finally won the battle against her so-called curse. She had Alexander Quin—the man she believed was her soulmate—and Lucinda Cross, her best friend, standing by her side as she prepared to walk down the aisle. Her future was perfect, or so she thought. Until the night before her wedding, when her world shattered. Catching her fiancé and her best friend tangled in betrayal destroyed more than her heart. It tore apart her innocence, her dignity, and the dreams she had built for years. Alexander’s cruel words—“Nobody will ever want you, cursed girl”—echo in her soul, threatening to bury her in despair. But Olivia refuses to stay broken. When billionaire CEO Damien Hayes enters her life, everything changes. He’s powerful, untouchable, and used to getting what he wants. To the world, he is cold and calculated, but to Olivia, he becomes temptation itself. Damien doesn’t see her as cursed—he sees her as fire, and he is determined to claim her flames, no matter the cost. Yet passion this intense comes with a price. As Olivia is pulled between the wreckage of her past and the dangerous allure of Damien’s world, she must decide: will she let Alexander’s betrayal define her, or will she rise, stronger than ever, in the arms of the man powerful enough to shatter all her walls? In a battle between heartbreak, vengeance, and forbidden love, Olivia must learn that sometimes the most dangerous desire is the one that feels like destiny.
