In a city where shadows blur the line between trust and betrayal, Dawn and Dorian are an unlikely pair bound by secrets they're desperate to keep hidden. They first meet in the warmth of a sunlit café, where her laughter softens his rough edges, and their friendship kindles into an undeniable spark. But as she, the radiant light in his dark world, falls for him, Dorian's dangerous ties to the underworld begin to show-and a secret from his past threatens to shatter their fragile love.

When betrayal strikes, they're forced into opposite corners of the same dark world, trading loyalty for resentment. She learns a truth about his life that tears her apart, just as he unearths a lie she's harbored for years, leaving them both reeling in fury and heartbreak. Now, as bitter enemies entangled in a dangerous power play, they're thrust back into each other's lives. With every stolen glance, every heated encounter, their buried feelings reignite-but so do the secrets that once tore them apart.

In a world of shadows, betrayal, and second chances, they must decide if the light of their love can survive-or if their pasts will consume them whole.
