Hercules Valentine—the boy who sat across from me in high school economics, the boy I could never let my heart want. Yet, from the first day I saw him, I was hooked. He was the boy I secretly dreamed of, and everything my family taught me to despise.
In a world where family grudges run deep, Hercules and I are forbidden. We come from rival bloodlines, enemies in every sense of the word, and loyalty demands I keep my distance. But the night before graduation, one unexpected encounter ignited a spark that hasn’t stopped burning.
Years later, fate has thrown us together again. This time, I have a job to do—a mission that could tear down everything he’s worked for, that could destroy any chance of us ever being more than enemies. If he finds out what I'm doing, he might hate me forever. Yet, whenever I'm near him or even look at him, my itch to break the rules blazes hotter than ever.
Will my loyalty to family outweigh my desire for the one man I can’t have? Or will this undeniable pull between us set a family rivalry aflame?
