Synopsis：I only went home to help the woman I called “Mom” mind her adult shop, but I ended up trapped on a pleasure bed in the back room. The man who walked in was the last person I wanted to see—Gilbert, her handsome 34‑year‑old lover. He didn’t recognize me; he thought I was one of the shop’s new adult dolls. By the time the truth came out, we had already crossed a line we could never take back. Then I discovered something even worse: the scented candle that clouded my judgment was lit on purpose. She made sure I was alone. She made sure Gilbert showed up. She wanted to ruin me. But why would the woman who raised me for twenty‑two years suddenly want to destroy my life? The answer lay in a secret she’d kept since the day I was born—she isn’t my real mother. As every lie began to unravel, the one man I was supposed to stay far away from became the only one willing to protect me. The deeper the conspiracy goes, the harder it is to deny the dangerous attraction between us. Now I have only one choice—to walk away from Gilbert forever…or admit that I want the man I was never meant to have.
