“My illicit spouse.
The kiss I shared with my father’s closest friend didn’t exactly unfold as planned.
Not only is he eighteen years my senior, but he also didn’t receive it favorably.
Not in the slightest.
In my defense, I never intended to develop feelings for him. It simply happened.
Nathaniel Weaver is the most captivating man I’ve ever encountered, exuding enough charm to rival the sun.
He’s larger than life, possessing half the world and dominating the other.
He was off-limits.
Taboo.
So I convinced myself I had moved on from him. At least, that’s what I believed.
Until circumstances force us into marriage.
Now I find myself ensnared.
But perhaps he’s ensnared as well.
Because we’re both reaching for that forbidden fruit dangling between us.”
