But fate doesn't ask permission.
Hiding from a dark past that nearly destroyed her, she ends up in the most unexpected place living secretly in the bedroom of a stranger, hidden from his family, her name erased from the world outside. He gives her shelter without questions, and in return, she stays invisible.
What begins as a quiet coexistence grows into something unspoken. But the closer they get, the more fragile the lie becomes.
She's hiding in his room. He's hiding his feelings. And outside their stolen peace, the storm is closing in.
Just when she begins to believe in safety, the truth catches up and nothing is what it seems.

This is not just a story about falling in love.
It's about surviving it.
