Some cravings devour the soul. Others whisper of home.
 
In one fateful night, Josh Huxley claimed me—body and innocence—igniting a fire that seared through my defenses, only to vanish like smoke in the dawn. What he left behind was a hollow ache, a belief in love shattered.
Now, fate’s cruel jest: I carry a child not my own, a surrogate gift to my brother and his wife, funding dreams of wanderlust on open roads. And the physician bound to me for these nine moons? None other than Josh—the man who once courted my sister-in-law, endured my brother’s scorn, and wielded me as his blade of vengeance.
 
He is poison, a devourer of hearts, addicted to the forbidden. I, fractured and famished for control, drown in guilt’s tide, yearning to vanish. Yet his gaze awakens me, a perilous flame in the shadows of exam rooms and stolen glances.
 
One touch could unravel my family, his calling, our fragile worlds. But oh, the sweetness of ruin—how it beckons, promising ecstasy in destruction.
 
Dare you taste this forbidden desire?
