Chapter 1 - Lila

Very first story ever.....

After losing her parents, Lila Calloway grew up in her best friend's house-protected, loved, and watched over like family. She was never supposed to fall for Ethan, her best friend's older brother.

Ethan knows the rules: Lila is too young, too close, too off-limits. But the more he tries to bury his feelings, the stronger they burn. Every laugh, every fight, every stolen moment only pulls them closer to a line neither of them should cross.

Now Lila is eighteen, and the truth can't stay hidden. Families will judge. Friends will question. But some love is too powerful to ignore-no matter the cost.

A forbidden, coming-of-age romance about family, desire, and the line that changes everything.
