Five love stories where duty, desire, and choice collide.

An ambitious woman finds herself locked in a battle of wills with a man she shouldn’t want. Their words cut like knives, yet every argument leaves them burning for more.

A sworn protector struggles with the one rule he can’t keep staying away. Each stolen glance drags him closer to the edge of surrender.

A contract ties two strangers together, but passion threatens to rewrite every line. What begins as convenience soon feels far too real to ignore.

A single father hides behind secrets, but he can’t resist the woman who sees him clearly. Her quiet strength and warmth spark feelings he thought long gone.

And in the most dangerous desire of all, a stepbrother knows she’s off limits yet the pull between them dares them both to risk everything.

Five couples. Five battles against rules, secrets, and fear.

When the heart won’t obey, will love break through or stay locked behind walls?
