He’s my brother’s best friend. Off-limits, untouchable… and the only man I’ve ever wanted.
But one night shattered every line we swore we wouldn’t cross.

I’ve loved Raffael De Santi for as long as I can remember.
Strong. Loyal. Infuriatingly gorgeous.
He’s been a constant in my life—protective, distant, and completely unaware that every time he walked into a room, my heart raced like it was still eighteen.

But I’ve always known the rules: I’m the younger sister. He’s the best friend. Forbidden.

So I kept my distance.
I smiled through his relationships. His engagement. His heartbreak.
Until one late night, one glass too many, and one impulsive confession changed everything.

Now I’ve had a taste of the man I thought I could only ever dream about—his hands, his mouth, the way he said my name like I was the only woman who ever mattered.
It was supposed to be one night. Just once.

But once will never be enough.

Raffael says he can’t give me more. That I deserve someone who isn’t broken.
But how do I walk away when he’s the only one I’ve ever truly desired?

Desire is a slow-burn, forbidden billionaire romance full of angst, longing, and a love that was never meant to stay buried.
