We are bound to physical life so long as our hearts keep beating.
It is the one thing which unites us as a species, it is one thing we all have in common.
It was the only thing they had in common.
She relied on her impulses, he on his knowledge.
She's from The Bronx, he's from Manhattan
She didn't know that when she saved him, he was too grateful to care.
What was most unexpected was that the heart she saved would come to beat only for her and the enigma that was her heart was in sync with his.

Stefan di Savoia and Valentina Guerrero, their paths crossed on a dark night and from there on it seemed as if they would be intertwined forever. But they couldn't be more different from each other.

His name is one of prestige the House of Savoy, historic dynasty of Europe, the ruling house of Italy from 1861 to 1946. One of the oldest royal families in the world, now one of America's strongest political families and he is a member.
Hers translates to valiant warrior and it does her justice. She's strong thanks to the person who raised her, who is herself. She knows when to fight and how to survive in a world that shows her absolutely no mercy. She doesn't know much about her linage, just her mothers name and Colombian origin. And she knows she doesn't need a prestigious surname to define who she is.

They both have a past that neither of them know about his family filled with centuries of scandal & corruption, her unknown past. Its catching up with every beat of their compatible hearts. Will it break them? Will it make them stronger?
Don't be too optimistic, remember:
they all break, piece by piece.
