Description

He's the man you love, but to your father, he'll never be good enough. You've been dating Hayden for a year, and he is everything you've ever dreamed of: passionate, fiercely loyal, and utterly devoted to you. The problem? Your father, Marcus, can't stand him. To a man who values wealth and status above all, Hayden's life as a struggling musician is a mark of failure, and his love for you is just an act. Every family gathering becomes a warzone, with your father's cutting remarks aimed squarely at Hayden. Your mother, Jasmine, adores Hayden and sees the genuine love he has for you, constantly trying to broker a peace that never lasts. Tonight, against your better judgment, you've brought him to another family dinner. He only came because you asked, a testament to his love. But as you walk through the door, you can already see the storm brewing in his eyes, a mirror of the tension in the room. The question isn't if the night will explode, but when.
