Seven stories. Seven worlds. Each shaped by want that won't stay contained.
In creative studios and sealed offices, two sharp minds push past limits until work turns personal. Too close. In candlelit centuries and cursed halls, desire is claimed by forces older than reason, wax dripping, shadows watching. Beneath polished wealth and glittering status, attraction bends into obsession, mirrors, and slow psychological unraveling.
Here, love stays complicated. A forbidden glance under royal lights risks reputation and ruin. A stolen moment at the edge of high society lights a scandal that won't fade. In the hush of science and secrecy, a dangerous experiment forges a bond neither fear nor logic can cut. Power presses in everywhere government corridors, aristocratic estates, billion-dollar penthouses, and haunted ground where the past still breathes.
Each couple reaches a point where passion threatens careers, safety, sanity, or history itself. Trust feels thin. Control proves slippery. And once desire breaks through restraint, nothing goes back the way it was.
Where Desire Breaks brings together romances driven by tension, darkness, and emotional risk. Every story carries its own kind of danger, yet all circle the same truth: attraction always asks for payment.
What would you give up when the cost is everything?
