The heart doesn't negotiate

Liana Elise Montevere has always been the kind of girl who follows logic. She plans her future, makes the right choices, and knows exactly who she should and shouldn't fall for.

Theo Alrcon is everything she should avoid.

He's reckless where she's careful, guarded where she's open, and carries more secrets than anyone realizes. Loving him means risking her reputation, disappointing the people she cares about, and facing a heartbreak she can already see coming.

Everyone tells her to walk away.

The problem is, the heart doesn't listen to reason.
As feelings deepen and complications arise, Liana and Cassian find themselves caught between what makes sense and what feels impossible to let go. In a world full of expectations, misunderstandings, and difficult choices, they discover that love isn't always logical-and the heart doesn't negotiate.

A heartfelt story about first love, difficult choices, and finding the courage to follow your heart even when every reason tells you not to.
