She was one man’s wife… and another’s downfall. In the game of lust, there is no innocence — only those who dominate… and those who surrender.
Vanessa was always a free spirit, but now her soul is trapped in a loveless marriage to Ryan Eckart, the eldest son of a powerful duke. On the surface, she is the perfect lady of the manor. Inside, she lives in captivity.
The night before the wedding, a forbidden encounter in the garden changes everything: a mysterious man kisses her with a passion she’s never known — and then vanishes. Years later, now married, Vanessa meets Isaac, her husband’s younger brother — enigmatic, irresistible… and hauntingly familiar.
The same gaze.
The same touch.
The same temptation.
Caught between duty and desire, between two powerful brothers, Vanessa walks a razor-thin line of secrets, betrayal, and lust. But how far is she willing to go for a love that may have never been meant to exist?
