*The first book of the True Love series. *

Sandra Yip has a tough exterior and a champion's resilience. A Western Amateur Women's Sanda titleholder and a dedicated student of Applied Arts and Virtual Design, she hides a deep sense of insecurity born from her mother's remarriage. Sandra has built walls around her heart, but they begin to crack when she crosses paths with Arden Lam.
Arden is the picture of privilege and poise. The heir to the powerful Lam family, he exudes a commanding presence inherited from his father's military discipline and his mother's Miss Hong Kong elegance. Arden has never made promises to the countless women he's charmed-he knows his future is already mapped out, including an arranged marriage. But when Sandra unexpectedly steps into his life, his usual rules no longer seem to apply.
Their relationship begins with a spark that quickly ignites into a whirlwind of passion. Sandra struggles to resist Arden's overwhelming allure, caught between her desire for him and her instincts for self-preservation. Meanwhile, Arden finds himself captivated by Sandra's strength and vulnerability, abandoning his playboy ways for the first time.
Yet, their world is anything but simple. Sandra's jealous roommate and Arden's scheming friends conspire to tear them apart, sowing misunderstandings that test their fragile bond. As emotions boil over and Sandra's defenses crumble, their love faces challenges neither of them could have foreseen.
Caught in a dance of attraction, jealousy, and betrayal, Sandra and Arden must decide: Can they overcome their differences, or are they destined to remain trapped in a relationship as tumultuous as it is undeniable?
