**Book 3 of the mismatch series** Everyone loved Ajax Torres. The boy with the easy laugh, the golden reputation, the life people wanted to be invited into. I was never meant to be part of his world. I, Rosa Ortiz, was only the maid's daughter-raised in quiet corners, taught to be grateful, taught to disappear. But somehow, I became his. His secret. His mistake. We were high school sweethearts until he decided I'd betrayed him. Love turned vicious. The boy who once protected me became the one who made my life unbearable. Now I'm trapped back in his orbit, forced to exist too close to someone who hates me almost as much as he wants me. I remember everything he did. He remembers what he thinks I am. And some loves don't die-they just learn how to hurt you better.
