Kimberly Mendoza has always been the shy, plus-size daughter no one expected to shine. When her powerful family arranges her marriage to billionaire heartthrob Alexander Rossi, they claim it's for her confidence-but it feels like a trap.
Alex is arrogant, dangerously charming, and completely uninterested in his new wife... until she starts changing right in front of him.
After a heartbreaking betrayal, Kimberly runs-into the arms of Xavier Santorini, a gorgeous model who sees everything Alex ignored.
Now torn between two men-one who broke her and one who'd do anything to protect her-Kimberly must choose: love, revenge, or freedom.
This isn't a fairytale.
It's a battle of hearts, healing, and self-worth.
And only one ending will set her free.
