Destruida por la traición de su prometido, Patricio Garza, Valeria Rivas hace lo impensable en una noche de desesperación: llama a la puerta de Damián Figueroa, el enigmático y peligrosamente atractivo magnate al que todos temen y desean en secreto. Lo que sigue es una noche de rendición absoluta, un fuego que consume toda razón y la deja marcada para siempre. Para Valeria, fue un acto impulsivo de revancha contra el hombre que le rompió el corazón. Poco imaginaba que acababa de caer en la red exquisitamente tejida por Damián, un hombre acostumbrado a conseguir siempre, exactamente, lo que desea. Valeria Rivas, antes la joya de la alta sociedad, admirada por su belleza, pero tristemente célebre por haberse humillado por amor a Patricio. La infidelidad la convirtió en el foco de los chismes de la ciudad, un hazmerreír público. ¿Quién diría que su caída más estrepitosa la llevaría directamente a los brazos del hombre más poderoso e inalcanzable de todos? Ella creyó que esa noche prohibida sería un borrón y cuenta nueva, un adiós silencioso. Él decidió que era solo el principio de su plan. Damián Figueroa no estaba dispuesto a soltar a la mujer que había despertado algo inesperado en él. Una noche, él la acorrala en su puerta. Su mirada arde con una mezcla de reproche y una posesión que la hace estremecer. —¿Creíste que podías usarme y luego marcharte como si nada? Desde entonces, escapar se vuelve una fantasía inútil. Cada noche, Damián la reclama, llevándola al límite entre el dolor y un placer adictivo que la deja temblando, agotada pero sintiéndose, para su propia confusión, más viva que nunca. «¡Dios mío! ¿Por qué este hombre... por qué es tan imposible resistirme a él?»
