she had spent years learning how to survive the kind of home that never truly felt like hers.
Quiet, distant, and almost impossible to read, she returns with only one intention-to begin again. No old names. No old wounds. No looking back.
She has learned to keep her truth hidden, her words few, and her heart guarded.
Then there is him.
Confident, talkative, warm, and impossible to ignore, he is everything she isn't. He belongs to a family built on power, expectations, and a rivalry that has existed long before either of them could understand it.
They were never supposed to cross paths.
Yet fate has its own plans.
One accidental encounter.
One pair of eyes he can't forget.
One girl who wants nothing to do with him.
And a boy who doesn't know why he keeps finding his way back to her.
For her, he belongs to a world she should stay away from.
For him, she slowly becomes the one person he can't stay away from.
But when the truth refuses to stay buried, love becomes more than a choice.
Because sometimes, the person who feels like home is the very person you're forbidden to love.
And when the truth finally comes out...
Will love be strong enough to survive the war their families started long before them?
