When a reclusive, scarred billionaire finally finds the one woman who captivates him, there's just one devastating problem—she's engaged to his oldest friend. Ayana's engagement is nothing but a business arrangement to escape her toxic agency, but the more time she spends with the enigmatic and dangerously magnetic Vuk, the harder it becomes to ignore the electric pull between them. As their connection deepens and chaos threatens everything, Ayana finds herself caught between loyalty and a desire that's impossible to deny, while Vuk struggles with the ultimate question: is his friendship worth losing the only woman he's ever truly wanted? This is a darkly romantic, tension-filled journey about forbidden attraction, dangerous secrets, and the price of choosing love.
