BLURB When grief brings them together, forbidden desire tears them apart—until love becomes the only truth that matters. Monalisa Carter never expected her father's funeral to change her life. At twenty-four, she's spent years running from her family's billionaire legacy and the suffocating expectations that come with it. But when she inherits a controlling stake in Devine-Carter Industries, she's thrust into a world of corporate power plays and cutthroat ambition—with only one ally she can trust. Lucius Devine is everything she shouldn't want. At forty-five, he's her late father's best friend, her new business partner, and the man who's haunted her dreams since an embarrassing teenage crush six years ago. Commanding, sophisticated, and impossibly magnetic, Lucius has watched Monalisa from a careful distance, honoring a deathbed promise to her father: stay away from his daughter. But promises made to the dead are harder to keep than either of them imagined. As they navigate hostile takeovers and boardroom betrayals, the attraction between them ignites into an inferno neither can control. For Monalisa, Lucius represents everything she fears about intimacy—and everything she's been desperate to feel. For Lucius, loving his best friend's daughter is the ultimate betrayal, even if she's the only woman who's ever truly seen him. Their affair is scandalous. Society calls it inappropriate. The media calls it predatory. Their enemies call it an opportunity. But when Monalisa's deepest secret—her paralyzing inability to be physically intimate with anyone—threatens to destroy what they're building, Lucius makes her an indecent proposal: let him teach her pleasure, help her heal, show her that intimacy isn't something to fear. What begins as lessons in desire becomes something far more dangerous: a love that defies every rule, challenges every judgment, and risks everything they've both worked to build. In a world where their twenty-one-year age gap is ammunition for their enemies, where their relationship could cost them their company, their reputations, and their futures—Monalisa and Lucius must decide: is love worth the scandal? Is passion worth the price? Can two broken people make each other whole? A scorching billionaire romance about forbidden desire, second chances, and the courage it takes to love without apology. Perfect for readers who crave age-gap romance, emotional depth, and heroes who worship the women they love. "Some loves are worth every scandal, every whisper, every judgment. Ours was worth the world."
