Prologue
They were NEVER supposed to fall in love
Not when the Rosewood and Cross families have spent decades apart.
Not when every memory, every moment came with a reminder: “stay away from..”
But that didn’t stop them then.
And it definitely doesn’t make it any easier now.
When Araceli Rosewood and Silas Cross find themselves back in the same town they grew up in.
The past doesn’t just resurface- it crashes into the present.
Old feelings, that were once buried and a history neither of them really let go of suddenly feels impossible to ignore.
Because behind the family feud…
Behind the years of distance…
Was something real.
Something that never fully went away.
Now caught between loyalty and longing, they have to decide: Do they keep playing the roles they were raised in- or finally choose one another?
Even if it means becoming exactly what their families feared most. And will love conquer all?
