Tempting the Untouchable

Kirsty Merrick is the Merrick family's only daughter, groomed by her mother Evanna Taylor to marry into the Bartley dynasty and restore their standing. She secures a betrothal to Morgan Bartley, the playboy son of the Bartley second heir. Unknown to Kirsty, Morgan has been secretly involved with Jess Merrick, Kirsty’s childhood friend from the orphanage. Years later, Kirsty brings Jess home out of loyalty—only to discover Jess becomes Morgan’s lover. Humiliated and betrayed, Kirsty crafts a calculated revenge: seduce and intoxicate Nicolai Bartley, the young CEO. Her scheme ignites a dangerous, underground affair that threatens family honor, power and Kirsty’s own heart as duty and desire collide.
