Loving him is wrong... forbidden... and a sin.
Celeste Serenity thought she was finally heading toward a peaceful life. After graduating with a degree in Business Management abroad, she decided to move back home to the Philippines. However, her plans for a quiet homecoming took an unexpected turn when her cousin, Cathrice, asked for a massive favor. Cathrice and her husband had to travel abroad for urgent business purposes, leaving no one to manage their sprawling hacienda in Batangas. Trusting Celeste's fresh business degree, Cathrice tasked her with handling the estate's finances and overseeing the workers.
Upon her arrival in Batangas, Celeste was warmly welcomed by the local farmers and staff. She immediately fell in love with the province's rustic charm, and for the first few weeks, her stay was idyllic. She was successfully running the estate, enjoying the fresh air, and finding the peace she had always craved.
But that peace was shattered the moment her cousin's brother-in-law arrived at the hacienda.
The moment Celeste locked eyes with him, her world spiraled out of control. Those damn, piercing grey eyes captured her instantly. But acting on her attraction is entirely out of the question-he is married. How can Celeste force her heart to stop feeling this way? It's an impossible task, especially when he refuses to leave her alone. He keeps sending her mixed signals, lingering a little too close, and teasing her with a dangerous intensity that suggests he wants her just as badly. Bound by duty, honor, and morality, Celeste must navigate a treacherous game of desire and guilt.
