She sent him to prison. Now, fate has brought them back together.
Mehenoor Hwang was once a woman who stood unwavering in her pursuit of justice. As a fierce criminal lawyer, she took down one of the most dangerous men in the underworld-Park Jimin. Years have passed since that fateful day when she ensured his imprisonment, and she has built a life of quiet resilience with her son, Jihoon. But the past is never truly buried.
When a ghost from her past resurfaces, threatening not only her life but the life of her son, Mehenoor finds herself caught in a deadly game of survival. And the last person she ever expected to save her-was the man she once destroyed.
Jimin has served his time, but some sins are not so easily forgiven. He knows he should walk away, let Mehenoor fend for herself. Yet, against all logic, he stays, shielding her from a danger far worse than himself. In the midst of the chaos, an undeniable tension lingers between them, a pull neither of them can escape.
But love was never meant to bloom between them. Not when guilt and grief weigh Mehenoor down, not when Jihoon is the only thing keeping her grounded, and certainly not when Jimin is the very embodiment of everything she once fought against.
Yet, the heart has never been one to obey reason.
As danger looms closer, Mehenoor is faced with an impossible choice-stay shackled to the ghosts of her past or take a chance on a man who was once her greatest enemy.
Will she run from her emotions forever, or will she finally allow herself a second chance at happiness?
