Adrian Elias Olsen crashed into my world like a wrecking ball—adventurous, carefree, and impossible to resist. He gave me a home, a family, and a place to belong.
Somewhere along the way, I gave him my heart... And now it’s too late to take it back.
I crave, and I yearn, and I ache, and I want.
Always.
All the time.
And he doesn’t have a clue.
I promised myself I’d get over him. The trip we take together is supposed to be the end—the last time he’s mine before I finally let him go.
But when paradise unexpectedly turns into purgatory, we’re forced to only rely on each other.
Suddenly, every glance lingers. Every touch burns. And the pull between us only grows stronger—dangerously so.
Because no matter how much I want him, I can’t have him.
In the real world, Adrian’s heart isn’t mine to keep.
In the real world, it already belongs to someone else.
