Forbidden Sake: Desire in the Shadows of Tradition

High in the mountains of Japan, the Kuroda family’s sake brewery has endured for centuries protected by ritual, bound by tradition. For Kaito Kuroda, heir to the craft, duty has always come first. Until an outsider walks through the gates and unsettles everything he thought unshakable.

Amelia Price is ambitious, bold, and intent on forging a partnership that could carry the brewery onto the global stage. But beyond the cedar vats and guarded recipes, she finds more than history. She finds Kaito a man whose quiet restraint masks longing, and whose silence burns hotter than he’ll admit.

Their worlds collide in late-night meetings and stolen glances, each moment tempting them further from caution. But suspicion grows quickly. Villagers whisper, and Kaito’s father warns of outsiders who will never belong. Trapped between the weight of his family’s honor and the pull of forbidden desire, Kaito must decide if he’ll cling to duty or risk everything for the woman who makes him dream of freedom.

Tradition or temptation. Legacy or love.

When the cost of surrender could shatter both, how far will they go?
