Burning Daylight

Love was never meant to be safe. Juliette Calloway has spent her life wrapped in silk and secrets — the perfect daughter in a dynasty of power, wealth, and lies. But behind the smiles and champagne, she’s suffocating. Ready to burn it all down. Roman Montgomery doesn’t exist on paper. He’s the ghost in the city’s underbelly — a hidden heir, a weapon forged in silence, carrying the weight of a feud older than either of them. When their worlds collide, it’s instant combustion. No names. No histories. Just heat. Roman is everything Juliette should fear — dangerous, magnetic, a sin she can’t resist. And Juliette? She’s the one line he should never cross. But when Roman is dragged back into the empire that created him, truth ignites like gasoline: their families are enemies, their love a declaration of war. In a town built on vengeance and blood, every kiss is a confession…and every heartbeat could be their last.
