Betrayal by Desire

Homewrecker Alert! Celeste Moreau was never handed anything in life—except expectations. With a mind sharper than any of her classmates and grades that shattered records, she clawed her way from a cramped apartment and cold silences to the marble floors of Blackridge Global. In its gleaming halls, she’s untouchable. Almost. He’s the exception. Damien Leclair is everything she swore didn’t exist: powerful without cruelty, brilliant without arrogance, loyal without cracks. A man like that should have been unreachable. Taken. Married. But logic has never calmed the ache in Celeste’s chest. Not when love feels like the only thing she's never been allowed to have. She doesn’t want to ruin lives. She just wants his. His smile. His warmth. His unshakable calm that silences the chaos inside her. Loving him feels like the first thing she’s doing for herself. And if claiming Damien Leclair means crossing every line she once respected—then so be it. Because for a girl who’s spent her whole life being second, loving a man like him isn’t just about desire. She doesn’t just want him. She needs him. In a way she’s never needed anyone before. Her love for him isn’t about winning or desire. It’s about the kind of obsession that consumes everything. He’s the one thing she’s loved more than herself — the one thing she’s willing to burn every bridge to claim. Damien is hers, even if it means destroying everything she’s worked for. Because for Celeste, losing him isn’t just losing love—it’s losing herself. Now, It’s all about winning. "She didn’t cross the line—she erased it, and built her own path."
