A single night can change everything.

When Lily's ordinary Friday unravels into a collision with her past, she finds herself face-to-face with Eli-the man she once adored from afar, her brother's best friend, and the last person she expected to see in her city life. What begins as a spark of old longing quickly ignites into a passion neither can deny.

But when desire leads to a moment that could alter both their futures, Lily and Eli are thrust into a storm of secrets, consequences, and impossible choices. As family loyalties are tested and hearts are laid bare, they must decide: will they risk everything for a love that was never supposed to happen?

Sweeping, intimate, and achingly romantic, The Bonds Between Love & Loyalty is a story of forbidden longing, the courage to claim your own happiness, and the fierce, fragile ties that hold us together-even when the world threatens to tear us apart.
