Overview
When it comes to sin, there’s a fine line between temptation and damnation. For years, Knox has fought his feelings for his late brother’s wife, knowing that giving in would make him a pariah in his family and beyond.
But as they work together at his tattoo shop, resisting Eden’s allure becomes increasingly difficult. Despite his past as an MMA champion being behind him, Knox is still a fighter – and the battle to keep his desire at bay is the toughest one he’s ever faced.
Every time he sees Eden’s curves and feels her soft lips, he’s reminded of what he can’t have. But as he struggles to keep his promise to himself and his loved ones, he realizes that the forbidden fruit might be worth the risk.
Would he dare to surrender to his heart’s desire, even if it means losing everything?
