All her life, Zianah Khione has been the girl everyone admired from afar-the kind of beauty and grace that made heads turn but never quite captured hearts. She's always been the one people appreciated but never pursued, as if she was too perfect to take a chance on. Zianah believes she's the kind of girl who is admired, yes, but not worth the risk of loving.
But when fate takes an unexpected turn, Zianah suddenly finds herself in the middle of an impossible love triangle-scratch that, make it a love square. The son of her family's close friend, her enigmatic professor, and even her sister's charming best friend are all vying for her attention at the same time. Each one has their reasons, their histories with her, and their own way of seeing her-not just as the admired Alyssa, but as someone worth fighting for.
As she navigates the complexities of these three very different suitors, Zianah is forced to confront a question she's never asked herself: Am I really just the girl who's admired, or can I be the girl someone chooses to love?
