Smoke & Shadows

Sakura Haruno has built a life defined by ambition, hard work, and unshakable integrity. She's worked too hard to let anything-or anyone-derail her future. But when she crosses paths with Sasuke Uchiha, a powerful and enigmatic figure with a reputation as ruthless as it is alluring, everything changes.

Drawn into his world of high stakes and hidden agendas, Sakura finds herself caught between desire and danger. The whispers about him are impossible to ignore, the scrutiny of the public eye relentless, and yet, against all logic, she can't seem to walk away. Sasuke isn't used to letting people in, but there's something about her-something that makes him question the walls he's built around himself.

As their worlds collide, secrets unravel, and the weight of their choices threatens to crush them. In a game where reputation is everything, will they risk it all for something real?

A story of love, power, and the fight to control the narrative.
