BLURB Athena Ortaliz has always known how to navigate complexity—in her career, in her family, and especially in love. But nothing prepares her for the moment her carefully balanced life begins to unravel; caught between a past she thought was certain and a future she never expected.Enter Bobby Carrero—a man who lives by logic, structure, and control. A lawyer by profession, he has built his world around rules and clarity… until Athena steps into it and changes everything.What begins as something unplanned quickly becomes something neither of them can ignore. But love, no matter how strong, doesn’t come without consequences.With expectations closing in, family ties complicating every decision, and a past that refuses to fully let go, Athena and Bobby are forced to confront the one question that matters most:Is love enough when everything else says it shouldn’t be?Or can something real—something undeniable—exist without conditions… without doubt… without objections?
