Crossing the Line

They call me the nerdy one, the quiet one. But Hercules Lord? He calls me PG, and every time he does, my heart betrays me.

I’ve had a crush on Hercules since high school—an untouchable, devastatingly gorgeous billionaire who could have anyone he wants. But I’ve always known we could never be more than polite strangers. The Lords are old money, my family is new tech money, and our families hate each other with a passion that runs deeper than their fortunes. Crossing that line is forbidden.

But now, here we are, face to face again, and this time feels different. We’ve grown up. The tension between us feels dangerous, electric, impossible to ignore. He’s no longer the boy I stared at from across a crowded room. He’s a man who’s daring me to step closer, to cross the line we’ve both stayed behind for so long.

I know what happens if I fall for him: chaos, scandal, and the collapse of everything my family has built. But what happens if I don’t? What happens if I keep pretending I don’t want him, don’t need him?

Because this time, Hercules isn’t just gazing back at me. This time, he’s making it impossible to stay away.

Crossing the Line is a slow-burn, forbidden billionaire romance about love that defies family loyalty, societal expectations, and every rule in the book.
