But what if she meets two men who will change--and potentially ruin--the life of this girl with the mask? *** As the eldest in her family, Emily Calixto is willing to shoulder all in order to support her ailing mother and younger siblings. Her desperation leads her to throw away her dignity and work at night as Lily, a woman who dances under the eyes of countless hungry men. Things become more complicated when cousins Gaz Fontanilla and Rage McIntosh show deep interest in her. But as someone living the double life, can she keep her secret and identity hidden--or will she be pulled even deeper into a world that knows no shame?

"I promise, Clara, one day I will be back. I will take you back with me, and I will marry you" It was the last thing Raphael told her before he went home, leaving her waiting for a while before the memory was slowly fading. The sweet, impulsive promise he made to her was soon forgotten as she started dating another man. Yet the one who she thought was her soulmate ended up betraying her by cheating on her best friend. Feeling hurt, she made a decision to leave, at the same time he returned to fulfill the promise he made years ago. Two people, a man with possessive desires and a woman who have been hurt by love would be living under the same roof, one with the intention to love and be loved, the other just needed to be healed. It all started back to the beginning. *** Book I of The Gentleman's Series Start : August 16 2019 End : April 5 2020 (EDITED) Ranks: #2 in Gentleman (June 14, 2020) #3 in Gentleman (August 25,2020) #4 in Billionaire Romance (August 13, 2020)
