Freedom had always been Alina sanctuary, the wind in her hair and the world at her feet. She thrived in the moments she dreamed of, living for herself and herself alone. She wasn't the type to look back, nor the type to get attached to-especially not to a man she only shared a fleeting night with. Yet here she was, tied to a stranger, with no name, no promises, and no way of knowing him.
For Xavier, family had always been a dream, a goal, something that completed his sense of purpose. His life was meticulously planned, every detail in order, until her. She was a mystery, a lingering taste he couldn't forget, someone he couldn't let slip away. Determined to find her, he dives headfirst into an investigation, each step making his need for control battle with his yearning to know more about the woman who haunted his mind since that night.
Will he be able to win her over, or is this just an imagination?
In a clash of independence and possessive obsession, both are bound to discover that sometimes, what you want isn't always what you need-and what you need might be the one thing you can't escape.
