He has dark secrets Rita, dark secrets that practically swallow him whole. He's in a dark place right now, and I know that deep inside, you know it too. I've seen the way you look at him.

Aretha Washington was never ready for the day that her life would change for the better. It sounds strange putting it that way right? At age 23, her only aspiration was to become a manager at The Maestri Hotel so that she could use her pay check to pay for her grandmother's cancer treatments.

She meets four adorable identical quadruplet girls and they steal her heart without her knowing it. When she finds out that they belong to the mysterious CEO of Maestri Empires, she's astonished, but it also sparks curiosity within her.

When she's unjustly fired for something she didn't do, it opens possibilities for her that she never would've seen coming.

At age 29, Raphael Maestri is the CEO everyone's talking about, but that no-one knows anything about. He's at the top of his game, but things have to turn around for him to acquire an important deal. He thinks it's impossible for him to get what he wants, until he meets the woman who his little girls seem to have latched themselves onto.

It would seem she holds the key to everything.

Dark secrets are revealed. Carnal desires spark. Love grows.

It's The Maestri Amour, a family love affair.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing.
