What she doesn't expect is for the stubborn man behind the headlines to be impossible to resist. As threats mount, Isabela and Christopher are pulled into a dangerous game of secrets and lies.
Each new discovery brings them closer to the truth and to each other. It also brings them closer to the edge of ruin. When Isabela must choose between betrayal and survival, she risks everything to protect the man she loves. But victory comes at a cost, and some wounds cut deeper than the law can heal.
