John Meyers thought he'd built the perfect life ? a good marriage, a respectable home in a quiet little town, a future that seemed certain.
But then Claire came back.
Claire ? his wife's younger sister. The wild one. The one who'd left town years ago under a cloud of whispers, only to return more beautiful, more alluring, and more dangerous than he ever remembered.
It starts with stolen glances. A spark in the quiet of the kitchen. A late-night confession they never meant to say out loud.
But as John's feelings spiral out of control, he finds himself caught between duty and desire, love and guilt ? and the growing realization that some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed.
Because in the end... everyone has something to lose.
