Monaí Leon was raised to be perfect-the governor's daughter, the face of grace and discipline. Every smile rehearsed, every word approved. But one night at a gala changes everything.
When one of her father's trusted men crosses a line, Monaí's world shatters. Her pain is buried to protect her family's image, and she's left feeling invisible in her own life.
Until she meets him-the one person who sees her for more than her last name.
With him, she finds courage. With him, she becomes Mona Leo-a woman ready to stop living for everyone else and start living for herself.
