Secrets of the Heart: Casa Montenegro Series 3

"Some hearts are meant to be broken, only to find the right pieces to be whole again."

Welcome to the third installment of the Casa Montenegro saga! This time, the spotlight shines on Xavier Zack 'Zac' Trasmonte Montenegro and Ziana Sarah 'Arah' Aguilar Fernandez.

Zac Montenegro has always been the family's loyal problem-solver, the rock who keeps everyone together. Charismatic, driven, and effortlessly charming, Zac's life has always been about fulfilling his role as the steady Montenegro sibling, carrying the family name with pride. But under his confident exterior, Zac hides secrets-secrets he's buried deep for the sake of his family's image.

Then there's Arah Fernandez, a woman whose fiery spirit has led her down her own path, away from society's expectations. Fiercely independent and focused on her own dreams, Arah is a photographer, capturing stories and beauty from around the world. Yet, there's a part of her she keeps guarded, a vulnerability she's determined to keep from the world's view.

When their paths unexpectedly cross, Zac and Arah find themselves drawn to one another in a way that neither can deny. They both come from influential families, each carrying the weight of expectations, but while Zac feels the pull of his responsibilities, Arah fights to live life on her terms.

As Zac's family pressures him to settle down, he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about love, loyalty, and happiness. And Arah, who vowed never to lose herself in someone else's shadow, faces a choice: to open her heart to Zac or to protect herself by walking away. But what starts as a casual connection quickly spirals into something deeper, something neither of them expected.

In a world where secrets and public image matter, Zac and Arah must decide whether they're willing to take a chance on love-even if it means breaking every rule in the Montenegro book.
