Calliope Francé Alvarez has always known she was different, from the scar over her chest to the whispers that followed her through the halls of high society. Adopted at five after a life-saving heart transplant, Cali grew up in privilege. Her home wasn't with the Alvarezes who adopted her, but with the enigmatic and untouchable Marina Isabela San Diego, a woman feared, admired, and utterly unknowable.
Isabela is not an Alvarez. And yet, for years, Cali lived under her roof, watched by cold eyes that never softened, yet lingered just a moment too long.
Cali begins to ask questions, about her past, and about the powerful woman who seems to hold all the answers. But the truth waiting beneath the surface is more twisted than she imagined, and her feelings for that woman are the most confusing of all.
