Diego Camacho wears his heart where everyone can see it-loud, messy, and unashamed. Raised in a family that loves with open arms and open mouths, he's never been the type to hide how he feels. But when a chance encounter sparks a no-strings affair with Dr. Valeria Ross, the rules of love change.
Val is everything Diego isn't-clinical, reserved, a woman who locks her heart away behind logic and control. Their chemistry is explosive, but so are their differences. What begins as a stolen night stretches into months of secret texts, late-night calls, and an intimacy Diego refuses to believe is casual.
Until Val overhears how Diego truly sees her and walks away without looking back, leaving him gutted by her own short-sightedness. He realizes that to win her back, he'll have to show her that love comes in many forms, and that sometimes, the quiet, "cold" kind of love is the one strong enough to melt steel.
