The daughter of a woman too broken to love and a man too powerful to claim her. For years, she's been chasing pieces of herself in every face, every hand, every lie that looked like love. The eyes watching her are not all the same. Some see desire Some see pity And one ... sees everything she's afraid to face. But when she meets him --- the man whose gaze burns and heals in the same breath --- she begins to see herself through something other than pain. His eyes don't just look at her... they find her. Still, love in Jamaica's underworld isn't soft. It's dangerous. It tests everything she thought she knew about loyalty, forgiveness, and herself. Through betrayal, heartbreak, and rebirth, she learns that sometimes the greatest love story isn't about who finally sees you --- It's about learning to see yourself. And when she does... No one can look away.

Known for having an extremely outgoing personality but also being a straight up heartbreaker. Everything is going well but that all changes when his younger sister, Carmen, joins. Carmen is the definition of beauty and brains but also completely innocent and clueless. She doesn't drink, never goes out and has been sheltered her whole life by her family's wealth; meaning Carmen has never gotten a taste of the real world by herself. What happens when she falls into the hands of the wrong person? Damian Galanis. Playboy, heartbreaker and also Maikel's best friend. He is the opposite of Maikel in every way. Yet despite the pair being entirely different to each other, they get along like two peas in the pod. Maikel and Damian support whatever one another decided to do however there was always one thing that was off limits for Damian. Maikel's little sister, Carmen. Damian had never seen Carmen before but as soon as he sets his sight on the wholesome girl, he can't stop thinking about her. Damian has always been handed everything in his life and has never been told the word "no", due to his prosperous parents giving him everything he has ever wanted and more on a silver platter. The problem is, he wants the one thing he can't have. Will things go smoothly between the pair, or will lust and temptation get the best of them? 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝟏𝟖+
