About this ebook

An old-money billionaire heir. A nerdy rival-family heiress. One unforgettable night that changed everything. Discover the sizzling, forbidden second-chance romance that launches the epic Lords vs. Groves series by bestselling author Z.L. Arkadie, writing as Zoey Locke!


Paisley:

Nobody calls me PG but Hercules Lord, a man I’ve secretly pined for since high school. But a romance between us is strictly forbidden. The Lords are old money, and my family, the Groves, are new money. The rivalry between our dynasties runs deep enough to create an invisible line in the sand that neither of us ever dared to cross.


But that never stopped us from staring across crowded New York rooms. And it didn't stop us from sharing one secret, breathtaking night seven years ago... a night where Hercules became my first love, though he has absolutely no idea. Now, years later, a family celebration brings us crashing back together, and my careful defenses are completely shattered.


Hercules:

To the world, I’m untouchable—the golden heir bound by legacy, family obligation, and expectations older than I am. But I’m tired of playing by my family's rules, and I’m done with stolen moments. Seeing Paisley again changes everything.


With the media watching our every move and our rival families determined to tear us apart, our mutual desire is about to defy every boundary. I let her walk away once before, but this time, I am ready to protect the woman I love and cross every single line that stands between us... even if it destroys our empires.


This modern, high-chemistry Romeo & Juliet story delivers deep emotional angst, intense second-chance tension, and a fierce alpha hero determined to claim his forever.

I loved this book! Crossing the line was such a sweet and authentic love story between two characters forbidden from being friends, let alone lovers, due to their feuding families. Paisley and Hercules, despite being opposites on paper, find that they have a sizzling mutual attraction towards each other, whether their families like it or not, and can't help but give in to their temptations for each other. A great read with a steady plot and a steamy romance! - I received this book as an arc reader.

I really enjoyed this story about Paige and Hercules. Their families were rivals but they had an attraction to each other that neither could deny. This billionaire love story was sweet and definitely steamy. I really liked both Paige and Hercules and can't wait to read more of the author's books. This is an absolute recommend from me. I love forbidden romances and especially enemies to lovers. Kind of reminds me of Romeo and Juliet but without the tragic ending.

The family feud between the Lord’s and the Groves is quite antagonist and ongoing. Will Hercules, a Lord and Paisley Grove cross the line with their relationship? Perhaps this line has already been crossed. Good steamy story with strong and defined characters and great world building. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
