Illicit Promises: Stolen Moments, Book 2

Some promises are made to be broken — especially the ones you make to yourself about the person you're desperately trying to forget.

Carter and Emilia thought college would be their clean slate. New campus, new faces, new opportunities to finally put each other in the past where they belong. They were wrong. In the second installment of Lucy Rivers and Catharina Maura's addictive *Stolen Moments* trilogy, the tension that simmered throughout high school has followed them straight into university life, and it's hotter and more dangerous than ever.

Carter knows better. He's seen firsthand how explosive they are together, how easily things spiral out of control when Emilia is involved. So naturally, he wants to pull her back into something secret, something reckless — a stolen arrangement that exists only in the shadows. Because apparently, "disaster" is his love language.

Emilia is equally stubborn and equally weak when it comes to him. Carter is the one person she shouldn't want and the only one she does. Now they're sharing the same social circles, the same spaces, and far too many charged glances across crowded rooms.

This forbidden contemporary romance crackles with the sharp wit and slow-burn chemistry that made the first book impossible to put down. The rules they set for themselves are disintegrating fast, and the promises they've made? Thoroughly illicit.

When everything feels this wrong, how could it possibly feel so right?
