❝If you knew that your soulmate were standing right in front of you, and that no one would make your heart beat the same way, you would understand why I'm fighting as hard as I am to keep you.❞
***********
All Amara Valencia wanted was to build her life on her own terms, not the preplanned version her family had for her. At the tender age of 18, despite the vice grip her older sister held, she broke free to build a means for herself.
Determined, and strong-willed, she felt that with this newfound freedom the world was her oyster.
All expectations came crashing down when a brief encounter with an alluring stranger created a whirlwind.
Although she's unable to deny the seemingly magnetic connection, something screams inside her to run.
Suddenly, her life became tangled into a world that she never knew existed, and finds herself with more than she bargained for.
