Shadows and Grace

Adira Grace Holloway was never meant to fall for a man like Mateo Gómez.

She believes in love, in grace,
and in the healing power of a home-cooked meal.
He believes in silence, control,
and the kind of loyalty that leaves scars.

She's sunshine wrapped in sass,
with a heart full of hope
and wounds she hides behind laughter.
He's the heir to a legacy of violence-
a man carved from shadow and silence.

Their worlds should never touch.
But fate doesn't follow rules.

When Adira's quiet life collides with Mateo's dangerous one- through a stolen recipe,
a risky favor, and a dinner that changes everything-
she becomes the one thing he can't control.

And as secrets unravel and enemies close in,
love becomes the most dangerous game of all.

He was her storm.
She was his grace.
And together, they were fire.

A story of broken pasts, forbidden devotion,
and the kind of love that could either save them-
or destroy everything.
