Until a man in a black suit walked in and told me the truth: I'm the daughter of one of the richest men in the city. Now I live in a mansion I don't belong in, surrounded by whispers, enemies, and secrets. My new classmates call me a fraud. My father barely looks at me. And then there's him. Adrian Vale. My brother's best friend. The arrogant heir who can ruin me with a single word. He swears he hates me-yet he's always there when I fall. But the deeper I dig into my mother's death, the more dangerous this world becomes. And the closer I get to Adrian, the harder it is to stay away. Because if loving him is forbidden... then why does it feel like my only chance at surviving? -------- Seventeen-year-old Lena Cruz has spent her life in the shadows-working nights at a diner, caring for her younger brother, and keeping a low profile in their small town.

And then there's Adrian Vale-the infuriatingly gorgeous heir to the empire who hates her guts. He's her half-brother's best friend... and sworn to protect her.

Adeline wasn't planning on having a panic attack in the middle of a thunderstorm-but that's exactly how she met Leo. Head down, heart racing, soaking wet... and suddenly crashing into a stranger with calm eyes and steady hands. Leo's the last person anyone would expect to be soft. He's an FBI agent, used to chaos, and once had a reputation for being the guy who didn't stick around. But Adeline? She's sweet, sheltered, and the kind of girl who can light up a room without even trying. The second their paths crossed, he knew she was going to mean something. And she did... she meant everything. He didn't mean to fall for the girl who's scared of storms. She didn't plan on it, but she trusted him faster than anyone else. But when two messy hearts collide, sometimes the calm comes after the thunder. This isn't one of those over-the-top, cringy romances. There's no love triangle, no toxic drama, and no dragging things out with a million side characters. Just a good timeline, real connection, and all the wholesome moments we secretly dream about. Leo and Adeline are loyal, sweet, and actually communicate (shocking, I know). You'll laugh, smile, maybe cry - and you'll definitely wish you had a Leo of your own. If you're a reader who's tired of the recycled tropes, toxic drama, and characters who can't get their lives together? Same. I've been in the Wattpad trenches too, and that's exactly why I wrote this book. It's everything I wanted to read but couldn't find. So consider this your sign: you're about to find your new favorite. You're gonna fall for Leo and Adeline - I just know it. - Love, yours truly, DaddyMaddyy
