Duet 1: Roxanne & Andries
Embark in a new sensual and forbidden love story between the young heir to a powerful, noble family and a much older woman filled with nothing but secrets.
“She's the only one I want... But all she's ever been is a lie.” - Andries
I still remember the day she first said her name. Her voice was nothing like I’d ever heard before––velvet, fine-grained, and smooth. There was something magnetic about it. It was terribly inviting. And deeply alluring.
My name’s Andries. I’m a closeted poet, an incurable romantic, and the oldest son of Sebastian & Julia van den Bosch––Dutch nobles who’d rather see me take over the family business and all the responsibilities that it entails rather than pursue a career in writing.
In the hopes of preparing myself for the task, I left the secluded family estate in the countryside to experience the thrilling life of a one-bedroom in the city center of Amsterdam to study business management. Though it’s not business that kept me in Amsterdam…
It’s her: Roxanne.
Duet 2: Elise & Dan
"Of all the women in the world, why did I have to fall for her?" - Dan
Elise van den Bosch. She’s calculated, cold, ambitious, and manipulative. To summarize, she's the perfect Van den Bosch and is the precise opposite of her older brother, Andries, who just so happens to be my best friend.
The day I first laid eyes on her I knew I was in trouble, but it was also the day my best friend made me swear to never look at her in that way again.
Years later, the impact she has on me hasn’t changed, I've just gotten better at living with it.
After all, Elise is the only woman I can never have. She’s my best friend’s sister and she must remain that way for the sake of our friendship.
Even when I know I don’t leave her indifferent either, I owe him to keep my oath.
Or do I?
