To the world, she's a masterpiece. To her mother, she's a puppet. To him, she's everything. ⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜ Andrea was supposed to be grateful when a wealthy socialite plucked her from the ashes of her parents' death. But behind her foster mother's polished smile lies a narcissistic obsession and a hidden motive that Andrea is only beginning to uncover. She was adopted for a reason-one that extends far beyond compassion. For years, Andrea has been a silent passenger in her own life, playing the "angelic" daughter to a woman who views people as mere accessories. But the strings finally snap when she meets Romero Rodrigo. A charming athlete who represents everything Andrea has been taught to fear: independence, passion, and imperfection. Romero is the "flaw" her mother refuses to tolerate. He is "unacceptable" and "beneath them," but to Andrea, he is the only thing real in a world built on lies. For the first time, the "perfect" girl is ready to be a sinner. Now, the choice is simple but devastating: Remain the perfect puppet and lose her soul, or follow Romero into the unknown and risk being disowned by the only "family" she has left.

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules.
