Si Alexis Mendoza, bunsong anak ng mag-asawang anim na babae ang naging supling, ay pinalaki bilang lalaki dahil sa kagustuhan ng kanyang ama na magkaroon ng anak na lalaki.

Nagulantang si Alexis nang ipakilala siya kay Theo at sabihang magpakababae na dahil magpapakasal na siya sa binata.

At ano ang mangyayari pagkatapos ng kasal kung bigla na lamang magbago ang tingin sa kanya ni Theo at ituring siyang isang napakagandang babae? May pag-asa pa kayang tumibok ang kanyang puso para sa binata?

Blurb: Nicolas Pov: I’ve built my life on control, power, and ruthless decisions. I never wanted to rely on anyone—especially not her. Isabella is young, full of hope, and entirely too naive for this world. I didn’t expect her to become someone I couldn’t ignore. But here she is, stepping into my life, challenging everything I’ve worked for. She doesn’t belong in my world, yet she makes it harder to push her away. I’ve lived in shadows long enough to know better, but something about her light makes me question everything. Still, the world I live in is too dangerous, and trust is a luxury I can’t afford. Isabella Pov: I never imagined this life. Married to a man who is more scarred than I could have ever known, his world of darkness and danger closing in every day.

I won’t run, even if I’m constantly surrounded by threats and lies. This world doesn’t scare me, but what Nicolas won’t let me see—his pain, his demons—that’s what I’m fighting to understand. I didn’t come into this to save him, but maybe it’s time he lets me in.
