How cruel is it to want something you can never have?

That’s exactly what meeting Elliot Dufort was like. A random encounter on a rainy New York morning threw me into a constant struggle between desire and reality.

A yearning that could never be fulfilled, for one bite of the forbidden fruit would lead to my downfall.

At the age of thirty-three, I’d long accepted my fate of living in the shadows of my responsibilities and playing the role that was assigned to me.

But what could I do when one glance into his sapphire eyes was enough to make my heart miss a beat and my imagination run wild?

What was the price I was willing to pay to be with him, and more importantly, what would it cost him?
