The Man Summer Couldn't Trust

Summer Villanueva built his empire the same way he built his heart-
cold, controlled, and untouchable.

To the business world, he is a brilliant CEO known for his ruthless precision and icy composure. No one sees the quiet kindness beneath the steel. No one knows the trauma he buried after losing his parents and surviving a past that still haunts him.

No one is allowed close enough to try.

Until a man walks into his life and refuses to stay away.

Igor Castillo is everything Summer avoids-
confident, loud, charming, and dangerously warm.

A powerful corporate lawyer with a smile that disarms entire rooms, Igor meets Summer at a high-profile business summit where their first encounter turns into a tense public clash. For Summer, Igor is infuriating. Persistent. Impossible.

For Igor, however, the moment he sees Summer...

something shifts.

What begins as rivalry slowly turns into something deeper-late night arguments, reluctant trust, and a connection neither of them expected.

But love was never going to be simple.

Secrets from the past resurface.
Enemies inside Summer's company begin to close in.
And the one man who has always protected Summer-his loyal vice president-may not be willing to let Igor take his place.

When the truth about Summer's past collides with Igor's own family, the fragile bond between them threatens to shatter.

Because loving Igor might mean trusting the one thing Summer has feared his entire life.

And some wounds are harder to forgive than others.

In a world of power, betrayal, and buried truths...

can Summer learn to trust the man who refuses to give up on him?

Or will the past destroy them before love ever has a chance?
