The Weight of Desire is a gripping, slow-burn romance with dark undertones, emotional depth, and the kind of forbidden temptation that keeps you turning pages late into the night.
Haunted by guilt and drowning in silence, former professor David has spent years in self-imposed exile, hiding from a past he can't outrun. The tragic accident that claimed his wife's life left him shattered—and convinced he deserves to suffer alone.
But solitude shatters on his birthday, when an unexpected phone call forces him to confront the very life he left behind. Leah—young, reckless, and furious at the world—has nowhere else to go. The niece of his late wife, she's been cast out, carrying secrets and scars of her own. Taking her in is a moral obligation... and a dangerous one.
Under the same roof, desire simmers beneath tension, grief, and the weight of everything unsaid. He's her guardian. She's the last person he should want. But temptation doesn't care about guilt—or consequences.
In a story where redemption collides with revenge, can they resist the pull of the one thing they've both sworn to avoid?
