In a world of luxury, secrets, and danger, Voila Rivera has always known her place - at the bottom. The maid's daughter, the girl with fiery orange hair and pale skin, raised inside the walls of the Tisdale mansion but never truly part of it. She watched the Tisdale siblings live lives of glittering privilege: golden-boy Ryan, the perfect heir, and rebellious Sofia, the beautiful, cold-hearted girl who made Voila's life hell from the moment they met.
But nothing in the Tisdale house is as it seems. Behind the wealth and status, the Tisdales are tied to something darker - old mafia bloodlines, secret alliances, and dangerous power plays. And Voila's mother, Maerlise, is tangled deeper in it than Voila ever imagined, hiding an explosive past with Mila Tisdale that threatens to shatter everything.
Now 18, Voila is no longer the shy, obedient girl she once was. She's determined to escape the chains of her mother's servitude, to break free from Sofia's cruel games. But as their relationship twists and deepens, Voila finds herself drawn into a dangerous dance of power, submission, and desire - one that blurs the lines between hate and love, dominance and surrender.
In a world where loyalty can kill, and love is a weapon, Voila must decide: will she rise above, or will she fall deeper into Sofia's arms - and her control?
She was his coworker. She was his close friend. She was his cousin. These were all things I knew. There were just a few crucial components to their connection of which I had been unaware. She had been his crush. And now he was hers.
