Trying to redeem herself in her family's eyes, Mary Del Russo steps into Joaquin Cornelius Yvarrez's world-only to discover that attraction to the governor comes with more than heat; it comes with consequences. *** Mary Vanya Del Russo lives through the lens of her camera--reckless, bold, and unafraid to chase the truth. But nothing prepares her for Joaquin Cornelius "Neil" Yvarrez--the dangerously handsome governor of Bulacan whose world is built on rules, control, and public image. Neil is engaged to Mary's best friend, Frida--an engagement forged in politics, not love. Yet the moment Joaquin meets Mary, something inside him unravels. Between secret rendezvous and stolen kisses, they find freedom in each other's arms, defying the expectations that cage them both. But power always comes with a price. When Neil's tyrannical father strikes back, leaving Mary fighting for her life, love turns into a war for justice. Exposing his family's corruption means risking everything--his career, his name, his future, and possibly, the woman who made him believe in desire and redemption.
