About this book

A chance meeting under starlight between two lost souls becomes something neither of them can ignore—until reality crashes in with one devastating revelation. She's drawn to the mysterious man who seems to see her in ways no one else ever has, while he finds himself captivated by her light and vulnerability in ways he never expected. But when the truth about who he is to her world comes to surface, their connection transforms from a beautiful possibility into an impossible choice. This is a slow-burn, heart-wrenching exploration of forbidden connection and whether some bonds are worth the cost—with a promise that love finds its way to a happily ever after.

yearningforbiddensmolderingconflictedintimate

Moody indie and dark R&B for forbidden desire—slow burns that ache with tension. Think sultry nights, whispered confessions, and the electric pull between two people who shouldn't want each other. Artists like The Neighbourhood, SZA, and Blood Orange. Sensual, conflicted, dangerously beautiful.
