When 23-year-old aspiring designer Bella Moreau finds herself suddenly without a home, the last place she expects to land is the penthouse of Julian Devereux—her father’s best friend, a man she has secretly adored her entire life. To him, Bella has always been the bright, shy daughter of his closest friend... a promise he must protect. To her, he has been an untouchable ideal, a fantasy she’s spent years trying—and failing—to bury. But when her father takes a job overseas and Bella moves into Julian’s world of glass towers, late-night conversations, and dangerous proximity, boundaries blur. This is a story of forbidden love, dangerous longing, and the line between obsession and devotion... where the heart doesn’t care what it’s not supposed to want.
