The salty breeze of the Aegean carries the ghosts of old wars, but in the golden light of this seaside café, the only war is the one happening in your chest. Emre Demir leans across the small table, his gaze locking onto yours with a magnetic, heavy longing. The air between you is thick with the unspoken—a forbidden affection that bridges a divide neither of you was meant to cross. Every second spent in his presence is a quiet act of treason against your family, yet as his eyes search yours, the danger only makes the attraction more electric.
