Aelin Atalia Reardon is a logical and reasonable woman, she exactly knows what she wants and what to do. That's why when she met Xavier Cuevas, the man of her dreams, she knew that she won't let her young age meddle with what her young heart's beating for. Everything was fine, everything was smoothly going on what's planned, she was content not until Archer Delgatto came to wreck her senses. She always becomes irrational when the man's around, she became confused— feeling things that a committed woman is not supposed to. The man gave her a thirst for curiosity that can't be mend by just simply knowing. He planted a seed of doubt for her feelings and her love, she hated him. But that strong feeling of hate became unsure when she got lost from the man's sweet lips and scorching lies.

A mess— that would be the perfect word to define Siobhan Constanciana Vallejo's life, from having a million worth of debts down to being chased by big syndicates who are after her father's head, luck was really not so fond of her. She left the bigger world, the opportunity to have a better life, to settle to a place called Maldivares, an island in the far South of the Philippines, where they can be unknown, an island where they can start all over again, a place where they can be safe. But life was sure hard on her, everything didn't go on her plan, her father got sick, and she needed money to save him, she's new to the town, she got none to run to. That's why when someone approached and offered her a task, to save her dying father and suffering family she took it. One look and she already knew, that her life can still get even messier the moment she agreed to be a trap for Augustus Caelan Rivo. For the man who owns a pair of beguiling emerald eyes smells like danger not just in her life but even more with her heart.
