Rianna Lou Austria has lived her whole life under the weight of a last name that everyone fears. Being the daughter of a powerful but corrupt politician meant one thing-judgment. No matter how much she tries to stand on her own, people only see her as her father's shadow. For Tristan James Alonzo Medina, that shadow is everything he despises. To him, Rianna is the daughter of the man who destroyed lives, the very embodiment of the corruption he vowed to fight. He swore he would never fall for someone like her. But hearts don't follow promises. As their worlds collide, hate turns into something more dangerous-something that neither of them can control. Every stare, every clash, every unspoken word only pulls them closer to the line they swore never to cross. Love against hate. Truth against lies. Her heart... against his judgment. He promised never to fall for the daughter of the man he despised-until she became the only exception to his conviction.
