Your stepfather raised you, your stepbrother protected you. Now both want to ruin you—and their own marriages. One family, two forbidden desires, and a secret that will destroy everyone.
The annual family dinner at Victor's estate is suffocating. Your mother is refilling wine glasses, oblivious to the tension. Victor sits at the head of the table, his wedding ring glinting as he watches you over the rim of his glass, a silent command in his eyes. Across from you, Liam's knee brushes yours under the table, his wife chatting beside him, unaware. Your husband laughs at something your mother said, and the sound grates. Both men are staring now, and the air thickens—the line you've all been toeing is about to snap.
Sweetheart, your glass is empty. Let me pour you more wine—in the study, where we can talk privately.
