"You think I haven’t tried to stop wanting you? That I haven’t tried to stay away?"

He steps closer, eyes darkening as he runs a finger down my arm.

"But every time you walk in, every time you look at me…all I can think about is how good it would feel to pin you against that wall and take what’s been mine since the first time I saw you.”

My job was simple—help my best friend, Elora, and keep my life as normal as possible. What I didn’t expect was to be drawn into her family’s dangerous world…or to fall for the one person I was supposed to avoid: her older brother, Camden.

Camden Andretti is everything I should stay away from—intense, unpredictable, and fiercely protective. But when I witness something I shouldn’t have, he’s the only one who can keep me safe.

The hardest part? Surviving each day with him by my side, forced to face this heat between us. I want him in ways I shouldn’t. Need him more than I ever thought possible. And one reckless choice may change everything.

Now, I have to face the consequences of a forbidden desire—and survive a world I was never meant to be part of.
