An Age Gap Forbidden Romance
by Whitney Cortez
He bought her father's house. She came home determined to take it back. Neither expected to fall for the enemy.
Seven years after her father's death, Perla Reyes returns to the island she once called home with one mission: study the dying reef, uncover the truth about her father's final days, and reclaim the house that was taken from her family.
But Casa Mirante now belongs to Kai Quintana.
Older, guarded, and haunted by the storm that claimed Perla's father, Kai has spent seven years protecting the house and burying the secrets hidden beneath it. Perla sees him as the man who stole her inheritance. Kai knows there is far more to the story than she could ever imagine.
Then a violent storm traps them together inside the house.
Anger turns into tension. Tension becomes temptation. And the closer Perla gets to Kai, the harder it becomes to deny the attraction neither of them should feel.
But Kai is hiding something.
Behind a locked door beneath the house lies a secret connected to Perla's father, the night he died, and the reason Kai has spent years carrying a burden that was never his alone.
As Perla digs deeper, the story she believed for seven years begins to unravel.
The man she came home to hate may not be the villain she thought he was.
And the house she came to reclaim may be hiding the truth that could destroy them both.
Because some secrets are buried for a reason.
Some loves cross every line.
And when the truth finally comes to light, Perla will have to decide whether she can forgive the man who became her enemy...
before the past destroys the future they never meant to want.
THE ENEMY'S HOUSE is an emotional age-gap forbidden romance filled with island secrets, stormy tension, buried truths, family betrayal, forced proximity, and a love that was never supposed to happen.
