Description: Ethan Parker is eighteen when he makes the kind of mistake that should never happen: he falls for Rosa Bennett, his classmate Kyle's mother. What starts as raw attraction quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Rosa is young, beautiful, and far too close for Ethan to resist-and once they cross that line, neither of them knows how to go back. Then the secret gets heavier. Rosa is pregnant, and instead of asking Ethan to take responsibility, she tries to protect him by carrying the burden alone. But Ethan refuses to be treated like a boy who can be pushed aside. He knows what everyone else sees when they look at them: scandal, shame, and a future doomed before it begins. Rosa's reputation is already fragile. His own family turns on him. And every choice they make threatens to hurt the people around them most. Still, the more the world tells Ethan to walk away, the more fiercely he holds on. Because this is no longer just about desire. It's about whether he can prove that what they have is real-and whether Rosa can believe in a future that doesn't destroy them both. In a love story built on the one rule they never should have broken, Ethan and Rosa must choose between fear and the kind of devotion that demands everything.
