Tangled in desire

Elena grew up in the slums. She almost dropped out—until a wealthy man named Arthur paid her tuition. Years later, she‘s a university lecturer. Then Arthur proposes. She says yes out of gratitude. She becomes the stepmother of his son, Julian. But she doesn’t know Julian is her former student. And Julian doesn‘t know his secret crush is now his stepmother. Arthur asks Elena to tutor Julian. Julian sees his chance. He pushes. He tests. He provokes. And Elena? She’s trapped between gratitude and desire. Between duty and hunger. Between the man who saved her and the boy who wants to destroy her.
