Forbidden Desires

Bella Livingston has grown up amid the opulence of the Livingston mansion, the only child of Richard and Isabella Livingston, influential figures in finance and society. Yet the grandeur hides a cold truth: her parents are absorbed in their own world, and Bella is left profoundly alone. Since she was sixteen, she has harboured a secret crush on Reid Carter, her father's charismatic best friend, a ruthless billionaire known for his cold manner and fleeting affairs.

Now eighteen, Bella remains invisible to Reid, watching him from afar while knowing her feelings are forbidden and could shatter her family's reputation. But Reid carries burdens and hidden desires of his own, and their lives are becoming intertwined in ways neither could have imagined, drawing them toward a passionate and dangerous affair.

In the shadows of opulence, Bella and Reid must confront their desires and the consequences that threaten to tear them apart.
