Nang utusan siya ng kaniyang ina na makipaglapit sa anak ng kalaban nito sa pagka-bise mayor upang mag-espiya, unti-unti niyang natanggap na sa buhay ng tao, darating at darating ang mga pagkakataong kinakailangan mong manlamang. Ngunit... magagawa kaya niya nang mabuti ang pabor na hinihingi ng ina? Especially if the person she's tasked to get close to is one of the fewest men she hates the most. That one particular Contejo who is always being seen dating different women at the same time! And little did she know, her raging madness towards him will be even intensified when a horrific incident suddenly barges in their lives. [Book cover illustration by: lumierezi/artsbyannz]

For Lorenzo Castillo, the 27-year-old new mayor of the town of Hope, or "Pueblo de Esperanza", nothing is important to him but two things: (1) to be disengaged from his father's will and (2) to execute the scheme that was developed by his resentful past. When their paths met, the two could not deny the curiosity and interest that they felt for each other.
