When Valentina transfers to an elite private academy, she expects a fresh start. Instead, she's met with whispers, secrets, and the unsettling gaze of a boy who always seems to be watching. Alejandro is arrogant, cold, and far too involved in the things no one dares to talk about.
As her world begins to unravel, Valentina realizes her life is entangled in something far darker than teenage drama, and trusting the wrong person could cost her everything.
But danger wears many faces. And sometimes, the only way to survive, is to pretend you're not afraid.
Love, loyalty, and betrayal blur in a game she never asked to play. And one she's not sure she can win.
Because in her world, nothing is as it seems and the most dangerous game of all might be the one played with her heart.

"It's Valentina, not Valentine."

At seventeen, I was just another foster kid....until Carlos Salazar made me believe in forever.
A reckless smile. Dangerous charm. A touch that burned. For one fleeting moment, he was everything.
Until the night he left me broken.
Now I'm twenty-two. An assassin.
My world runs on blood and contracts, not love.
The girl he knew is buried.But the cartel doesn't care about scars, and fate doesn't care about promises.
My new assignment? Protect the man who ruined me. He doesn't recognize me. I remember everything.
The lies. The scars. The night that turned me into this.
Carlos wants the sweet girl he lost.
But someone else has already seen the woman I've become...sharp. dangerous. untouchable. In his world, softness is a liability.
He doesn't promise comfort. He promises survival. I swore I'd never love again. But between the man who shattered me and the one who offers no mercy at all, my heart becomes a battlefield.
And when the truth finally bleeds out,
all that's left are sinners.....with watercolour eyes.
