Celestial Adoration

Xhanelle Skylar Gonzalez was paralyzed by fear of getting hurt, haunted by the pain her mother endured when she loved a man she could never truly reach.

So when she met Xavier Dior Manriquez, a name synonymous with wealth and those piercing blue eyes, she felt a familiar tug. It was a pull she knew she couldn't ignore, but one she also knew could lead her to heartbreak. His father, a man of privilege, had left her mother, a woman from a different sphere, shattered and alone. The memory of that pain, the chasm of social standing, made her hesitate, wanting to distance herself before she fell too deeply.

Yet, what if she dares to step out of her comfort zone? What if she confronts her fears and embraces the possibilities instead? Xavier feels like a celestial adoration, a glowing beacon inviting her to take a chance. Deep down, she longs to move past the shadows of her past, to step forward into a future where love doesn't have to hurt. Maybe, just maybe, love could be different this time.
