Loving You, Hating You, Wanting You

Hazel's shock knew no bounds when she opened her eyes from an intensely erotic dream featuring Shawn, her best friend. The vividness of their passionate encounter left her questioning everything—was she truly that starved for intimacy that her subconscious conjured such a scandalous scenario with a man who only viewed her as a sister?

Determined to bury the fantasy, Hazel convinced herself that reality would never mirror her midnight reverie. Yet the lingering heat of the dream refused to fade, whispering seductive possibilities she desperately wanted to believe could materialize.

Her resolve crumbled the moment Shawn presented his new girlfriend. Hazel's chest tightened with an unmistakable, green-eyed jealousy she couldn't deny. Even when an alluring stranger entered her own life, promising distraction and romance, the pull toward Shawn remained undeniable—a gravitational force her hopeless heart couldn't resist.

The burning question consuming her: Can she navigate the treacherous path of forbidden desire and actually claim her happily ever after with the one man who remains blissfully unaware of her true feelings?
