Gabriella, a waitress by day and a midnight ballerina by night, hides more than just exhaustion behind her smile — she hides secrets. Dark ones. After a childhood that taught her love is just another lie, she’s built walls no one can climb… until she meets Zane, the billionaire CEO of SteelTech, whose piercing eyes and unexpected kindness begin to melt her defences. But when Gabriella’s past resurfaces — bringing danger, betrayal, and truths she swore she’d buried — everything she’s fought to build begins to crumble. Now, she must face the shadows she ran from… or risk losing the one man who made her believe in love again.
