30 chapitres En cours d'écriture Brooklyn William was a fool.
She believed in fairy tales when she should have known better. She thought love could bloom in a world built on power and deceit. She thought Alessandro Hernandez was her prince.
But he was the villain all along.
Alessandro needed an illusion. A picture-perfect love story to clean his family name, to fool the world, and-most of all-to satisfy his father's demands.
Brooklyn was easy prey. Sweet, naïve, desperate to be loved. She believed his lies, fell for his honeyed words.
A tool and a stepping stone.
The wedding was a performance are carefully crafted illusion. She mistook his rehearsed smiles for love, his scripted touches for devotion. And when the cracks in his mask began to show, she ignored them.
Because how could a man who kissed her so tenderly, who whispered such beautiful promises-be a monster?
And Alessandro's mask is slipping.
Brooklyn won't see it.
Even when his words begin to cut.
Even when his warmth turns cold.
Even when his love feels like a slow, sinking poison.
She still wants to believe.
But Hugo Hernandez sees the truth.
Silent. Calculated. Unshaken. Alessandro's cousin has always been an outsider to their family's corruption, a shadow lurking in the background. He never cared. Until Brooklyn.
He should walk away.
But something about her suffering unsettles him.
He is not a savior. But when Brooklyn falls too deep into Alessandro's game, when she is blind to the man who is ruining her-Hugo becomes the only one left to catch her.
And Alessandro notices.
The heir to the Hernandez empire thought he won. Thought Brooklyn was his-trapped and owned. But now, Hugo is in the way.
Hatred. Alessandro does not love Brooklyn, but he refuses to lose her.
Brooklyn is a fool who loves her husband.
Alessandro is a liar.
And Hugo is a knight.
But what happens when Brooklyn finally sees the truth?
And when she falls... who will be there to save her?
A story of power and romance.
