The Hawthornes and Stacy's family have been enemies for years. To the world, *Vleo* is Civlion Hawthorne's eldest heir: cold, ruthless, and ready to kill to protect the family name. Especially if the target is Stacy, the only daughter of their mortal rival.
But the truth? "Vleo" is just a mask. That's not his real name. Every threat he makes against Stacy is all an act a way to keep her out of danger and hide from his father, Civlion, what he truly feels: he's secretly loved her for a long time.
The problem is, he never expected his youngest brother, *Maverick*, to fall for Stacy too. And Maverick's intentions are real. He'll court Stacy even if it tears both families apart.
Now Vleo is trapped. He has to pretend to be Stacy's enemy to protect her from his own father. He has to fight his own brother who doesn't know the truth. And he has to hide everything. Because the moment his real name and true intentions are exposed, it won't just be his heart on the line.
One secret admirer. One greatest enemy. One love that could destroy two bloodlines?
