From the moment their paths cross, the attraction between them is undeniable—but completely forbidden. Ash Langley is the heir to an empire built on luxury and wealth, a man trapped between a father who refuses to loosen his grip and the crushing weight of his own expectations. As if that weren’t enough, his younger brother, Oliver, is about to marry Charlotte Bennett, further complicating his standing within the company. Ethan Bennett is just beginning to taste freedom, still drifting as he tries to figure out what he wants from life—who he really is. He’s spent years keeping his emotions at arm’s length, speaking softly, avoiding strong opinions, unwilling to face the fire burning inside him. But when Ash looks at him—really looks at him—everything changes. Ash is dangerous—not just because he’s fifteen years older or because their relationship could spark a scandal that would destroy everything, but because he awakens a desire in Ethan that he’s never been ready to admit. For Ash, Ethan is an escape. For Ethan, Ash is the spark that forces him to confront what he truly wants. Between secrets, stolen moments, and a battle for control, their relationship becomes a dangerous game where the lines between right and inevitable begin to blur. How long can they play with fire before it consumes them completely? less
