Just because I'm a gentleman, it doesn't mean I will beg for you to stay in my life. I will never beg for someone to stay where they don't want to be.

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

She knows how to survive. Trusting him is the dangerous part. Charlotte has spent years perfecting the art of staying hidden. Smart, observant, and careful, she keeps her world small and her heart even smaller. Christian is her best friend's older brother - the kind of guy people warn you about... and the kind you fall for anyway. For most of her life, she was background noise to him until one unexpected moment changes everything. The tension between them is unmistakable - but so are the secrets she keeps carefully hidden. Christian can't ignore the things that set her apart - her sharp wit, her unexpected humor, the quiet strength beneath her reserved exterior. She isn't like the girls who drift in and out of his world. She's thoughtful. Mysterious. Surprising in ways he never saw coming. And the closer he gets, Christian realizes her guarded nature isn't accidental. She's protecting something - and earning her trust won't come easily. For the first time, this isn't about the chase. It's about earning a place inside the walls she built to survive. AN EMOTIONAL NEW ADULT ROMANCE about love, healing, and learning to TRUST AGAIN.

Ngunit hindi naging madali ang lahat dahil ang lalaking pakakasalan niya ay isang mayabang, arogante at masama ang ugali na walang ibang ginawa kundi inisin siya kapag nagtatagpo ang landas nila at ginagawa nito ang lahat ng paraan para lang mapaatras siya sa kasunduan. Will their hate for each other eventually turn into love or will the hate gets worst that may cause war between the two families?
