At 26, Kiara Marshall is no stranger to sacrifice. After the tragic loss of her sister Rachel and brother-in-law Maximus Ashton, she steps into the role of CEO at Marshton Publishing and guardian of her 8-year-old niece, Mia. Balancing the demands of a prestigious company with the responsibility of raising Mia, Kiara has always prioritized her niece's safety, honoring the deathbed promise she made to her sister. To Kiara, love is a distraction, a vulnerability she can't afford. Her devotion to Mia leaves no room for romance, especially when no man seems to understand the depth of her commitment.
Enter Jaxon Klein, a 30-year-old world-famous musician with a dangerous edge. As the second son of a powerful Mafia family, Jaxon enjoys the duality of a rockstar's fame while being tied to his family's underworld dealings. With millions of adoring fans, a string of publicized relationships, and scandalous headlines, Jaxon seems to be the quintessential bad boy. But beneath the surface, he craves something real, something more than the fleeting attention that comes with stardom.
As their lives intertwine, they must confront the secrets they hide and the scars they bear. Can Jaxon convince Kiara that love doesn't mean sacrificing her responsibilities? And can Kiara open herself to love, knowing it could risk everything she's built for Mia?
In a world where fame and family collide, will they find a love worth fighting for, or will their pasts consume them both?
