A brooding, silent man in his thirties meets his match in the fearless eighteen-year-old daughter of his business rival—and the forbidden tension between them is absolutely electric. She sees past his cold exterior and calculated silence; he can't seem to look away from her, no matter how wrong it feels. With their families at odds and a fifteen-year age gap creating the perfect storm of complications, their connection becomes inevitable and utterly scandalous. If you love slow-burn chemistry with serious stakes and a hero who finally breaks his silence for the right person, this one will have your heart racing and your palms sweating.
