Forbidden Foundation
Sophia Rossi thought she was just coming home to start her life. But the sprawling glass house in Coatesville feels more like a museum than a home, and she's an outsider in her own mother's perfect new world. Her only point of connection is the brooding, handsome older man living in the guesthouse-a man with a haunted past and eyes that see her more clearly than anyone.
Ryan Cole is a man on the edge. At thirty-eight, his career is in ruins, his marriage is over, and he's living on the charity of his best friend, Liam. His plan is simple: keep his head down, rebuild his life, and stay away from trouble. But trouble arrives in the form of Sophia-Liam's soon-to-be stepdaughter. She's too young, too brilliant, and too close to the life he just destroyed. She is completely off-limits.
It begins with a shared love for buildings with soul and a conversation in the dark during a power outage. In a world of suffocating wealth and secrets, they find in each other a breathtaking, dangerous clarity. But every stolen glance is a risk. Every secret touch is a betrayal.
When a weekend alone transforms their simmering tension into an uncontrollable fire, their secret world is born, full of whispered confessions and desperate, hidden passion. Living a lie under the watchful eyes of the two people they can't bear to hurt, their fragile bubble is a paradise on the verge of collapse.
And when Ryan's past comes storming back, threatening to expose them, they'll have to face the consequences of their impossible love. Can a connection born in the shadows survive the harsh light of day, or will the truth burn everything they love to the ground?
