Love Harrington has lived her whole life behind polished doors and perfect smiles.
Her father Senator Charles Harrington built his career on faith, family, and control.
Her mother Elena gave up everything to be the ideal wife.
And Love? She's the obedient daughter.
The one who never disobeys.
Until college happens.
At Hawthorne University, Love meets Aarav Singh a brown-skinned Indian student who doesn't care who her father is. He's wild where she's cautious, honest where she's terrified.
He sees her.
And that's what ruins her.
When an unplanned pregnancy threatens her father's perfect image, Love's world collapses. Her parents forbid an abortion, pro-life, pro-family, no exceptions. But bringing "the boy responsible" home tears open an older, darker secret... one that links her mother's past to Aarav's family.
Now trapped between love and obedience, truth and reputation, Love must decide:
Will she stay silent in a life chosen for her?
Or burn it all to the ground for the one thing she was never allowed to have 'freedom' ?
