But Valerie's family and Malachi's family have a history neither of them knows the truth about. His mother would rather see him ruined than see him with her. Her father has forbidden his name in the house. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell what's real. Some deals are made to be broken. Some are made to be kept. And some the ones that start as lies are the only ones worth telling the truth for.
