A tale of love, sacrifice, and two hearts colliding against all odds.
Teresa Hayes never asked for a life of luxury or glamour. She's content with her small-town world early mornings on the ranch, sunsets over endless fields, and a quiet future in Willow Creek. But when her reckless cousin flees an arranged marriage to escape the clutches of a powerful city family, Teresa finds herself thrust into the last place she ever wanted to be: standing at the altar in her cousin's place.
Juran Moretti is no stranger to control. As the heir to the Moretti crime family, he's built his life on loyalty, fear, and power. His arranged marriage was meant to seal a deal, unite empires, and secure his family's future. But when the woman walking down the aisle isn't the one he was promised, Juran's world is thrown into chaos.
Teresa and Juran couldn't be more different she's all heart, and he's all edge. But as they're forced to navigate a life together, Teresa discovers there's more to Juran than the cold, ruthless man he appears to be. And Juran learns that quiet strength might just be his undoing.
Thrown into a world of secrets, betrayal, and dangerous alliances, Teresa must decide if she's willing to risk her heart and her life for a man who's both her captor and her unexpected protector.
In this unlikely union, love might be their only chance to survive the storm.
