This is a story about the discarded-those of us bruised by betrayal, silenced by rumors, lost in the wreckage of broken homes. I'm one of them. Thrown aside by Liam, haunted by a past that never lets me go, and carrying scars no one can see. But even in the dark, Nova's kindness flickers-a fragile spark I still feel in the cracks. Trust is a warzone. Then there's Jexon-dangerous, raw, the kind of storm that drags me in and pushes me out, over and over, testing every limit I thought I had. This isn't a fairy tale. It's the story of the forgotten. The broken. The fierce. Of people like me-fighting to survive, to love, and maybe, just maybe, to finally be seen.

In a world where appearances and social differences dictate people's destinies, Valentina is a young woman who, despite her painful past, has managed to move forward. Working as a nanny for the Valero family, one of the most powerful and enigmatic in Louisiana, her life is filled with routines and secrets that seem to hide a much more complex world than it appears. Among the luxuries, the laughter of the twins, and daily responsibilities, a forbidden spark emerges-a attraction that defies all rules.

And Valentina, with her heart full of hope and wounds from the past, can't help but feel drawn to this young man who, unknowingly, will change her destiny forever. How far would you go for a love that could destroy everything you've built? What would happen if passion ignited between two hearts that, by their very nature, shouldn't meet? Within these pages, you'll discover a story of intense feelings, difficult decisions, and the power of love amid adversity. Because sometimes, the most beautiful and the most dangerous things are hidden behind a smile and a secret that will forever alter their lives.

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel.

She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]
