Sin Behind Closed Doors
‘No, Authur, please don’t do this to me’
Arielle sobbed, fingers clenched around his, tears spilling freely as her body shook beneath the weight of him
‘You’ve always wanted me’ he murmured, voice thick and merciless, his body pressing into hers until she cried out
‘Now you have me’
Fear and desire blur, breath tangles with heat, and surrender comes wrapped in shame and craving.
Arielle Winters loved him long before she understood the cost. Arthur’s heart belonged to another, a girl named Nerissa, bright and untouchable, whose sudden death left him cold, bitter, and impossible to reach. When fate forced Arielle into his life as a wife, it was not out of love, but duty. Five years of silence, resentment, and quiet cruelty have left her heart raw, her nights haunted, her life a cage built from his grief and her obsession.
She lives in the shadow of a love that will never be hers, trapped beside a man who still mourns someone else, a man whose gaze and words cut deeper than any blade. Every memory of Nerissa, every moment of Arthur’s absence, reminds her that loving too much can destroy a person, and surviving alongside a man who cannot forgive may demand more than she has to give.
But the past has a way of returning, and the night that stole Nerissa will not remain buried. Arielle must confront what she has endured, what she has hidden, and what she is willing to sacrifice to remain standing in a world where love is cruel, obsession is deadly, and survival is the ultimate test.
A story of longing, betrayal, and unrelenting desire, where every heartbeat carries the weight of a secret, and every breath reminds her that she may never belong to the one she loves.
