Synopsis
They were inseparable once, until their fathers ripped them apart.
Sawyer Eleanor is an 18-year-old ray of sunshine: kind, jovial, with an incurable sweet tooth and a heart that loves too fiercely. As the daughter of wealthy businessman Joseph Sawyer, she's lived a sheltered life, unaware of the shadows lurking in her family's past.
Felix Marino is the 18-year-old heir to a powerful mafia empire. Brooding, charismatic, and fiercely loyal, he's been groomed since childhood to take over his father's dangerous world. Emotions are a weakness he can't afford.
Ten years ago, when they were just eight, their fathers forcibly ended their friendship and forbade any contact. Neither Eleanor nor Felix ever knew why.
Now in college, fate throws them back together. Old feelings resurface stronger than ever, Eleanor's clingy affection crashing against Felix's ironclad sense of duty. But the secret their families buried long ago is about to come to light, threatening to destroy them both.
Will Felix choose the girl who makes him feel human... or the family and empire that demand his soul?
Can Eleanor survive the brutal truth of Felix's world, or will she be forced to choose between the boy she's always loved and the normal life she craves?
In a story of rekindled childhood bonds, dangerous secrets, and impossible choices, their love was never meant to happen.
But some hearts refuse to stay torn apart.
