In the heart of Riverside, the unending tension between past and present unfolds in a tale laden with desire, regret, and dark secrets. Evelyn Quinn, a woman striving to escape her tumultuous past, fi nds herself drawn back into a web of chaos when she unexpectedly comes face to face with Sebastian Rivers, her once losened soulmate—a man whose presence shatters the walls she has painstakingly built. With ten years of separation looming between them, Evelyn attempts to piece together a life overshadowed by remnants of that fateful history. The sweet scent of lemon verbena, reminiscent of their youth, now hangs heavily in the air, igniting dormant passions and unresolved pain. But as the night thickens, her encounter takes a treacherous turn when she unwittingly becomes entangled in Sebastian's obsession—a twisted desire that grips him like a vice. Beneath the surface, Sebastian battles with his own demons, haunted by memories that refuse to fade. When a startling confrontation erupts in a lavish suite, the stakes skyrocket; he offers her a questionable proposition that could entrap them both in a cycle of manipulation and lust. With blood on his hands and darkness in his heart, he draws Evelyn into a game far more perilous than she anticipated—a temptation that entices but could ultimately destroy her. As Evelyn grapples with both her lingering feelings for Sebastian and the perilous reality of their reunion, she must confront unexpected revelations that threaten to tear her world apart. With each revelation, questions arise: Can she trust the man who once held her heart? Will she succumb to the intoxicating pull of their turbulent history, or find the strength to break free once and for all? In this gripping tale of intertwined fates, readers will be left breathless as they navigate a world where every choice is wrapped in layers of deceit and where love and vengeance intertwine, leaving behind an inevitable question: What price must be paid for liberation from the ghosts that bind us?
