Life has taught me that happily ever after is just a fairy tale.
Balancing life in Esperance while looking after my four wild siblings? A challenge. Keeping things afloat with two part-time gigs? Harder than it sounds. Flipping burgers at the diner by day and enchanting kiddos as Elsa by night is a grind. Enter Wolfe Rivers, an older-than-me, hotter-than-Hades billionaire with an allure that's impossible to resist. But he's not just any rich guy—Wolfe's secret haven in Raleigh is all about raw passion and dark desires. As the pull between us becomes impossible to ignore, his world of diamonds and decadence is a tantalizing escape from my daily hustle. With every stolen kiss, the lines between his high-stakes universe and my family-first reality blur. Now, when the safety of my family is threatened, and our secret trysts aren't so secret anymore, I'm torn. Caught in a whirlwind of desire and duty, secrets and sacrifices, can I find a way to live happily ever after with the man of my dreams?
