Venice Lortieza, an only child of divorced parents. When the separation happened, she stays with her Father while her Mother moved to Spain with her new family. Despite her past, she's the most loving, caring, and the most genuine person someone could've ever meet. Her life only revolves around her Dad, academic, her two friends, and her love in books and modelling, no men, literally NO MEN, until...
She met a guy who's two years older than her, not just a random guy, but that guy featured everything she's looking for in a man. He's Conrad Grant, an Oncologist.
In the heat of Spain, their connection grows into something deep and intoxicating. Conrad becomes her anchor, the only person who truly understands the weight of her loss. But when the time comes for Venice to return to her hometown and reclaim her old life, she finds herself paralyzed. The home she once loved is calling her back, but the "Velvet Trap" Conrad has built around her heart is too tight to break. Can she really leave the man who saved her, or is she destined to stay forever in a life that isn't hers?
