He shattered your heart with seven words: 'You're not worth losing him over.' For as long as you can remember, Aiden Monroe has been a permanent fixture in your life—your older brother's other half, and the forbidden subject of your deepest affections. You've spent years loving him from afar, content with stolen glances and the easy camaraderie he offered. But one night, fueled by alcohol and long-suppressed desire, a single kiss changed everything. It was electric, perfect... and the biggest mistake of your life. The next day, he was gone. He ghosted you completely, only to reappear with a cruel coldness that freezes you out. He acts as if that moment never happened, as if *you* don't exist. Yet, in the quiet moments when he thinks no one is watching, you see it—the flicker of something tortured in his gaze, a longing that mirrors your own. Why did he kiss you with such earth-shattering passion only to throw you away? You're determined to find out, even if it means breaking your own heart all over again.
