But when her stepmother assigns a mysterious new bodyguard to stay by her side, the walls around her begin to crack. Quiet, dangerous, and hiding secrets of his own, he becomes the one person who understands the darkness she carries. Against every rule, every warning, and every scar left by the past, Valérie finds herself falling for him. And maybe - just maybe - he's falling too.
Until the truth destroys everything.
Because some betrayals don't just break hearts. They start wars.
