SINFULLY YOURS

A SLOW BURN, STEAMY, FORBIDDEN, AGE GAP, DARK PARANORMAL ROMANCE DRAMA I lost my parents young and was taken in by my father’s friend who treated me like a maid rather than family. I endured years of endless chores because I loved their son—our university's golden-boy hockey captain. But after he used me in a storage room and let the campus humiliate me as a desperate conquest, I walked away from the only home I knew. I took a live-in housekeeping job caring for an empty villa outside campus. For a month, it became my sanctuary. Then the new semester began, bringing a calm, impossibly handsome new professor. When I went to return the villa's key to its owner, my professor opened the door. He was the homeowner—and a distant relative from my past. I had forgotten him completely, but he had never forgotten me. When I handed him the key, he closed my fingers around it instead. “You can keep it,” he said. “I know you have nowhere else to go.” He opened the door wider and met my eyes. “So stay. Live here with me.” *** Nineteen-year-old Rosa Lin's calm, normal and boring life takes a heart-wrenching dark turn when her two-year crush takes advantage of her feelings, breaks her spirit and humiliates her before the entire campus branding her a bad egg. She detaches and tries to start her life over again, finding herself caught in the clutches of a long forgotten relative who was once like an uncle to her, yet so mysterious in ways her consciousness can't put together. What she doesn't know is that he is keeping a heavy, dark secret-one that connects them both to a past far older than she can remember. And Rosa Lin is about to figure out that the life she knew is all just a facade hiding the truth of her existence. — Description from novelcodex.org
