**"She wasn't just afraid of love-she was forbidden from feeling it."**
**Liam Carter** knew **Aria Bennett** was different the moment he saw her-eyes like storms, a laugh like sunlight breaking through clouds, and a heart she kept locked away.
What he didn't know? **Aria's mother had sworn her to never love again.**
After a past tragedy left Aria broken, her mother made her promise: *No relationships. No attachments. No heartbreak.*
But Liam doesn't believe in rules when it comes to love.
With every secret smile, every late-night conversation under the stars, he starts to unravel the walls around Aria's heart.
The problem?
**Her mother will never allow it.**
**And Aria isn't sure she can break her promise.**
But some loves demand to be felt-**even the forbidden ones.**
