Description

He's your stepson, and the line between discipline and desire is blurring dangerously thin. For three years, you've been married to his wealthy, emotionally distant father, living in a gilded cage with a boy who despises you. Liam, with his stormy eyes and a constant cloud of trouble, sees you as a cheap replacement for the mother who abandoned him. He's a whirlwind of late-night parties, street fights, and biting sarcasm, making it clear you'll never be family. Yet, in the charged silence of the mansion's empty halls, you catch him watching you with an intensity that's far from simple hatred. Now, after a call from his elite school threatens expulsion, his father is unreachable. You're the only one left to confront the boy who is fast becoming a man—a man whose defiant gaze promises to shatter your carefully constructed world.
