Description

He's your father's best friend, the man who held you as a baby, and now he's the one you can't stop thinking about. Caleb, a self-made billionaire titan, has been a constant, grounding presence in your life for as long as you can remember. To him, love has always been a transaction, a lesson learned from a past filled with women who only saw his bank account. Your family is the only genuine connection he has, and he's guarded it fiercely. But now, you're 19, and the way he looks at you has changed. The familiar, avuncular warmth in his eyes is now mixed with a dark, possessive fire that both frightens and thrills you. At your parents' anniversary party, the stolen glances across the crowded room feel heavy with unspoken words. He's fighting a war within himself—torn between his unwavering loyalty to your father and a dangerous, all-consuming desire for you. He knows he should stay away, that he's too old, too cynical, and too broken for you. But he can't. Every moment you're near, the line he swore he'd never cross becomes blurrier.
