One mansion. Two broken families.
And four people bound by secrets, tension… and temptation.
Charles Weston is the kind of man women fall for and never recover from — powerful, ruthless, and haunted. Jane Morris knows she should stay in her lane, but when their paths cross, desire makes the decision for her. She leaves behind her quiet, middle-class life and moves in with him, chasing a future that promises safety, lust… and maybe love.
But not everyone is ready for this new beginning.
Her daughter, Rosie, is sweet, soft-spoken — and furious. Forced to move into a house that doesn’t feel like home. And especially into the orbit of Arthur Weston.
He’s rich. He’s wild. He’s trouble wrapped in leather and late nights.
And he wants her.
She hates everything about him…
Until the walls start to thin.
Until glances turn into tension.
Until she’s not sure if she wants to run — or be ruined.
As their parents explore a romance built on history and hurt, Arthur and Rosie find themselves pulled into something far more dangerous — a slow, aching descent into forbidden heat, hidden touches, and the kind of desire that no one’s supposed to feel.
Because in this house, love comes second.
Temptation always comes first.
And some lines were meant to be crossed.
