The Forbidden Flame

The Bennett family has everything-wealth, power, and prestige-but behind the walls of their grand estate lies a web of secrets that could destroy them all.

Sebastian Bennett is a man torn between duty and desire. Bound to a bitter, manipulative wife he no longer loves, he finds himself consumed by a dangerous passion for Olivia, the one woman he cannot have. She is young, innocent, and engaged to his own son-yet her presence awakens in him an obsession that threatens to shatter the family's name forever.

Catherine, Sebastian's cunning wife, will stop at nothing to protect her marriage and her pride. With schemes as ruthless as they are desperate, she turns her own son into a pawn, determined to keep Olivia from ever escaping her grasp. But Sebastian's sister Charlotte has her own designs-exposing Catherine's treachery and pushing Olivia into Sebastian's arms, no matter the cost.

What begins as whispered rumors and family feuds spirals into scandal, betrayal, and violence. A staged accident, a brutal attack, a raid that ends in handcuffs-each new plot drags Olivia deeper into a war she never asked to fight. Torn between loyalty and survival, love and fear, she must decide whether to flee the Bennetts' world or face it head-on, even if it means sacrificing her heart.
