Synopsis

Amos Cooper-Hayes. Sinner. Dominant. Control-obsessed. Falling for his best friend’s sister.

He should keep his distance. She should run. He told himself she was off-limits. His body didn’t listen.

Innocence versus lust.

Light versus darkness.

Love versus obsession.

Salvation versus vengeance.

For Amos Cooper-Hayes, trust is sacred, and only a rare few have ever been worthy of it. His best friend is one of them.

Haunted by a dark past, he carries the weight of his sins, and he knows a woman like Lilly has no place in his world.

Most of her life was spent behind the walls of a Catholic boarding school, where she was taught to be sweet, submissive, and untouched.

She’s everything he was never supposed to want.

And yet, her innocent sensuality is exactly what he can't resist.

Lillyana Ross was raised to be quiet and invisible.

Dismissed by a selfish, shallow mother, she was sent away to be educated and molded into the perfect trophy wife: obedient and ornamental.

But when fate throws these two opposites together, resisting becomes impossible.

They may come from different worlds, but from the moment they collide, it’s clear that they were never meant to belong to anyone else.

The sinner is falling for his best friend’s off-limits sister, and not even the demons of his past can keep them apart.
