Note
Before diving into the twists and turns of this story, I want to let readers know that in this novel, as in all my works, the male protagonists will not be toxic or abusive. Instead, they will be romantic and sensitive men.
Likewise, the female protagonists will be independent, sensitive, and self-sufficient women, equally imbued with a deep sense of romance.
In the romance genre, which frames this and all my novels, I portray love as an intense experience of happiness or suffering, but never with submission or the sacrifice of personal dignity, for either the woman or the man.
With this clarification made to avoid setting false expectations that might lead to disappointment, I leave you with the story of Hanna and Steve.
