Thirteen years ago, Zoraida Haliya Chavez was the sun of San Roque-the landlord's daughter who had everything, until a single mistake stripped her of her crown. Forced to leave the province in shame, she swore never to look back at the mud and the memories.
But the city wasn't kind to her. Now thirty and broken, Zoraida is forced to return to the only place she has left, bringing with her two children and a heart full of secrets.
She expected to find a ruined estate. Instead, she finds Isagani Arturo Esguerra.
The scrawny kid who used to watch her from the shadows has grown into a man-dominant, dangerous, and deeply obsessed. He has spent thirteen years cultivating her land, waiting for the day his "queen" would crawl back to the soil.
In Isagani's eyes, Zoraida isn't just a former employer. She is his harvest. She is his life. And in San Roque, he is the law.
Now that she's back within his reach, Zoraida realizes that the fences he built weren't just to keep intruders out... they were built to keep her in.
In the province where the roots run deep, there is no escaping the man who owns the earth you walk on.
