A secret brought us together. Another will destroy us. Johan
Johan
For two years, Ive kept a secret locked away—buried deep beneath the pressures of being a PhD student and researcher in Archaeology at Cambridge. I once harbored a harmless crush on Elise—a Dutch noblewoman who seemed like a good match—but it was her younger sister, the mesmerizing Hannah, who ultimately stole my heart. Her sharp wit, bright eyes, and infectious laughter drew me in, yet I held back—for her youth, my reputation as Elises former crush, and the distance between us made pursuing her unthinkable.
But now, Hannah is back in my life, stepping onto the hallowed grounds of Cambridge as a fresher. The once-dormant attraction reawakens with a force that threatens to unravel the careful life Ive built. As she navigates her new world, long-buried secrets and forbidden desires rise to the surface, pulling us into a dangerous affair. The line between duty and longing blurs, and the stakes have never been higher.
Can I hold onto the life Ive built, or will Hannah’s presence push me to the brink, forcing me to risk everything for the chance at something more?
This book is for mature audiences.
