I killed my own father when he took away my only reason to live. Along with my beloved, I buried myself, turning into a soulless code that guards the secrets of the country's most dangerous mafia clan. For six years, I felt nothing. Until she appeared on my screen—Anna Zarytska. The sinful daughter of my enemy. A spoiled princess turned into a broken doll in the hands of a sadist. One look into her eyes makes my dead pulse race. Who is she really—just another fake, or a lost soul begging for help? And am I, a killer with an ice-cold heart, ready to burn the world down once more to save a sinner who reminds me of a lost paradise?

The heart always betrays what time cannot silence. She had been in love with him since she was fifteen. Grayson Callaham — her brother’s best friend — the man who kissed her one night and loved her like no one ever had, only to shatter her the next day with his words. Seven years later, Eloísa Carver is a young cardiologist determined to leave the past behind… until the hospital’s new director turns out to be him — the man who broke her heart. Now Grayson is engaged, but nothing can erase what once burned between them. In every touch, in every glance, desire ignites again — dangerous and inevitable. Caught between guilt, secrets, and an attraction impossible to contain, they will discover that some loves never die… they simply wait for the right moment to echo.

I convinced myself that she was the one to blame. I hated her for that belief, the one that turned us into enemies. We married for the same reason: to protect a legacy. I promised myself I would make her life a living hell, and she seemed to have made the same vow. We became rivals, unwilling to accept being husband and wife, not even for a greater good. But then a truth changed everything. The reason for my hatred was proven false, and afterward, with no other choice, I am forced to seek her help to save my lands and my family’s legacy. She refuses—but that’s not the only thing she denies me. Her resentment keeps her from admitting that I am the father of the child she carries in her womb.

Nyla was told she would be Nolan Rutherford's wife the day she began to understand the world. Her father had been Mr. Eugene Rutherford's chauffeur, and after his death, the family raised her as their own daughter. They groomed her to be the perfect wife and married her off to the Rutherford heir. Nyla was an exemplary wife and a devoted mother to her one-year-old daughter, until one day Nolan asked for a divorce, confessing that he had met another woman. He gave her money to leave quietly. Only six months later did Nolan realise what a gem he had lost. But Nyla already knew: he did know how to love… he just never loved her. "I tried to save our marriage," she said, "but now there's nothing left to save."

A meeting that forces her to face the questions she’s avoided for years: can she be saved—and is it worth saving something already falling apart?

— Girl, do you understand what you’re asking for right now? — Yes, — I swallow convulsively and repeat. — I want you to sleep with me. — My tastes in sex are definitely not for a girl as gentle as you. — I’m not some gentle virgin! — I snap. — I’m a grown woman, and I know what I want. — Then let’s not waste time, grown girl.
