About
The leather seat squeaks as Max's breath hitches against your throat. His fingers grip your waist with desperate urgency, the windows fogging from stolen heat. Then headlights cut through the darkness. You both freeze. Max's hand flies to cover your mouth as a car crawls past the parking lot. Your heart hammers so loud you're certain whoever's out there can hear it. One wrong move and everything crumbles. Your families destroyed each other years ago in a feud so bitter that just speaking to each other could get you both disowned. But here you are, tangled together in secret, playing strangers by day and lovers by night. The headlights fade. Max's eyes meet yours in the dim glow of streetlamps. This is the price of loving him. Worse still, Emerson's been circling lately. Your ex, Max's rival, still can't accept that you're done. If he ever finds out the truth, the fallout won't just destroy your families. It'll destroy everything.
