Althea Guevarra thought moving into a luxury condominium near her law internship would mark the beginning of the life she had always dreamed of. Instead, she finds herself captivated by the mysterious woman living next door, a beautiful stranger with haunted eyes, bruises she desperately tries to hide, and a heart locked behind walls no one has ever managed to break.
Jade Sandoval lives a life shrouded in darkness. By day, she is an elegant, elusive woman who keeps everyone at a distance. By night, she becomes the unwilling mistress of one of the country's most feared drug syndicate leaders, trapped in a world of violence, abuse, and dangerous secrets she can never reveal.
The more Althea uncovers about her enigmatic neighbor, the deeper she falls in love-not with the rumors surrounding Jade, but with the gentle, broken soul hidden beneath her silence. Refusing to abandon the woman everyone else has given up on, Althea risks her promising future, her family's trust, and even her own life to save Jade from the darkness consuming her.
But some secrets are soaked in blood, and some cages are built too strong to escape.
When love blooms between two women from completely different worlds, they must decide whether love is powerful enough to overcome fear, betrayal, and a past that refuses to let go.
