Slow-burn romance. Shattering betrayal. A love tested by truth.
Xylia Brennan has always found comfort in her best friend Delia Langston's home-a place that feels more like family than her own ever did. But when Delia's enigmatic older brother, Galen Ximénez, returns home from military training, Xylia's world begins to shift. Galen is guarded, intense, and suspicious of anyone close to his sister-including Xylia.
What begins as a quiet investigation fueled by Galen's protective instincts slowly unravels into something deeper: a connection neither of them saw coming. As their bond strengthens and turns into love, they become inseparable-two broken people finding wholeness in each other.|
But when tragedy strikes, everything they've built together is torn apart. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, both Xylia and Galen are forced to confront the darkest parts of their pasts. In a world where nothing is as it seems, can love survive the weight of loss and betrayal?
