**TW: this book will contain mentions of assault (sexual and physical), murder and violence.

What is worse than falling in love with someone who you're not supposed to fall in love with?

Falling in love with someone who doesn't love you back, that's what.

Eden Ford has found herself guilty of both offences.

'Never fall in love with your brother's best friend' was a rule that had been drilled into Eden's mind ever since she was a nerdy little teenager just trying to survive High School.

In other words, Derek Morgan was off-limits.

However, that doesn't stop Eden from falling for him. And hard.

But just like her namesake, Eden was well and truly acquainted with what it felt like to live with the temptation of a forbidden fruit.
