She's his ex's daughter—and he desires her more than he ever should. Victor lives a successful, structured life until his seriously ill ex-girlfriend asks him to look after her 21-year-old daughter, Ariana. What begins as a moral obligation quickly develops into a dangerously intense attraction. Ariana is young, vibrant, and unaware of the dark desires she awakens in him. Caught between responsibility and desire, they are drawn into a game of intimacy, control, and temptation. Secret glances, forbidden fantasies, and a growing emotional dependence lead them to the edge of what's permissible—and beyond. A dark romance novel with an age gap, daddy kink, soft BDSM, and slow burn. Perfect for readers who love emotional depth, a thrill on the edge, and dominant love interests with a need for control. Not for the faint of heart—but for those with strong hearts.
