My Protégé. My Temptation. My Greatest Mistake.
I built my empire on hard work and a heart locked behind steel walls. Love? That was a fairytale I stopped believing in the day James shattered me.
Then Ethan walks into my life. Brilliant. Charismatic. A writer with raw talent and a hunger to prove himself. I tell myself I’m just his mentor, guiding him through the ruthless world of publishing. But the way he looks at me? The way he makes me feel? It’s anything but professional.
He’s younger. Off-limits. A risk I swore I’d never take again. Yet, against every instinct, I fall. Hard.
For the first time in years, I let myself believe in something real—until the truth rips it all apart.
Ethan isn’t just my lover. He’s James’s son. The man who destroyed me.
Now, I don’t know what’s worse—the betrayal that broke me before… or the one that’s about to.
