Hate at first sight… turned into the kind of temptation you should never, ever touch. 😈🔥
Ivy’s world crashes when her mother marries the man who destroyed her father 💔—and drags home his golden-boy son, Theo.
What starts as icy glares and sharp words quickly turns into something darker, deeper… and far more dangerous than either of them planned.
As old family sins crawl into the light 🕰️, and every rule they’ve been told to follow starts to feel like a dare, Ivy has to decide—fight the pull, or cross the line and risk losing everything.
