Description
Valerie Fernandez never thought in terms of fate-until a random meeting with an enigmatic stranger sent her world into a whirl. Sebastian Pérez is arrogant, charming, and infuriatingly attractive. What starts as playful stares in an elevator escalates to late-night drives, secret smiles, and stolen glances. But when Valerie begins her internship at a formidable corporation, she realizes the man she's falling for is her boss-and he's now colder than ever. Their emerging connection breaks when secrets are revealed. A secret family. A stepbrother she's never known. And a deception that almost kills Valerie. Now, sewn together with hurt and haunted by what was taken, Valerie comes back-only to discover Sebastian with another woman and a heart frozen by his own assumptions. In a world of power, deception, and darkness, can love endure the gashes of truth? A suspenseful slow-burn romantic story with mystery, heartbreak, and the type of love that will burn even when it is broken. #116 in bestfriendbrother 9/05/25
