The Story

Wanting has a way of finding the places duty leaves empty.

Nia has spent years being useful. Be good. Keep the family together. Carry the promise her mother left behind.

Jalen offers her softness she does not know how to accept. Cassian sees every secret she tries to bury. Miles gives her quiet without asking for anything back. None of them fit inside the life Nia was taught to keep small.

When her aunt turns her mother's trust into leverage and family loyalty starts costing her pieces of herself, Nia must decide what she is willing to lose to finally choose what she wants.

About the Author

C. R. Green

C. R. Green writes dark-edged, high-heat contemporary romance about desire, guilt, family pressure, and the complicated cost of finally choosing what you want. His stories center complicated women, messy love, why-choose dynamics, and relationships that refuse to fit neatly inside one box.

He is drawn to characters who want more than they were taught to ask for, and to love stories where pleasure, honesty, and softness can feel like acts of rebellion.
