Born in poverty, Petianna Bami Velasco had to sell vegetables for a living, instead of going to school. But when the influential Ladesma family took her into their care, her world shifted overnight. Suddenly, she had the chance to study, to dream, and to live a life she had only ever watched from a distance. Everyone welcomed her with kindness---everyone except the youngest heir, Koen Ladesma. With his sharp words and cold demeanor, he made her feel she didn't belong in his world. But the more their paths intertwined, the more she began to see the truth behind his coldness-a hidden tenderness, a quiet loyalty, and a heart that wasn't as unreachable as she once thought. And against all reason, Petianna found herself captured... not by wealth, not by status, but by an affection that could change everything.
