Love was never something Serena Vale believed in.
To her, love was nothing more than a beautiful lie-an illusion that only left people broken. The scars of her past had taught her that trusting someone meant giving them the power to destroy you, so she built walls no one could ever climb.
Then came Sebastian Laurent.
He wasn't supposed to matter. He wasn't supposed to become the one person she laughed with, cried with, and trusted without hesitation. Despite being a self-proclaimed man-hater, Sebastian somehow became Serena's only exception. Her safest place in a world she'd spent years shutting out.
But some stories are never meant to stay simple.
As hidden feelings begin to blur the line between friendship and love, old wounds resurface, secrets threaten to tear them apart, and Serena is forced to face the one thing she's been running from her entire life.
