Five years ago, Elena told Luca she loved him. He walked away — not because he didn’t love her, but because loving him put her in danger. Now she’s a lawyer hired to protect the Volkov family empire. He has no choice but to work with her. She has no intention of forgiving him. The tension between them is unmanageable — jealousy, denial, old memories, suppressed desire. When an enemy begins targeting Elena, Luca’s restraint collapses. He becomes ruthless — the version of him he swore she would never see. To protect her, he betrays her again. She leaves. He breaks. Truth comes out. The world tries to own them. They choose each other anyway.
For the soft hearts with steel spines—
the ones who bleed, and still choose to love.
For every Elena who forgave life even when it didn’t deserve it,
and every Luca who learned that gentleness
is not a weakness, but a revolution.
This story is yours—
the story of two broken edges
finding a way to fit without cutting each other.
To the ones who rebuild themselves,
even after the world tries to burn them down—
may you wear your ruins like armor.

Angela Mullen-Akporiaye: I like the banter between Aldrich and Lucy. She’s sassy and kind. He’s vulnerable and strong. There’s a verisimilitude in the way that they relate. And when he came looking for her, she didn’t shrink. Bravo!
