When Cihan Albora-the silent, feared Aga of Mardin-steps into a glittering Istanbul gala, he expects nothing more than business and formality.
What he doesn't expect... is her.
Alya Smith, a brilliant neurosurgeon with a calm presence and eyes that see far deeper than most, becomes the only light strong enough to cut through the shadows he's carried his whole life.
One look is all it takes for something to shift-quietly, dangerously.
But powerful families are watching. Old enemies are stirring.
And the fragile moment between them threatens to spark a storm neither city is ready for.
Two worlds.
One silent pull neither of them can explain.
A story born in the space where his shadow met her light.
