For Maximiliano Santos, the idea of gaining a stepmother after all these years was absurd. The pain of losing his mother still gripped his chest as sharply as the first day. His father's decision to remarry would drive a wedge between them—Maximiliano was convinced the woman destined to become the new Mrs. Santos was a shameless fortune hunter. He resolved to expel her from their lives the moment she entered his father's world.
But everything changed when he first saw her. Those enormous amber eyes held a gaze so profound it awakened a passion he'd never known. From that instant, a war raged within him: attraction, temptation, desire, distrust, and pride clashing in his veins.
For the gentle girl, marrying a stranger posed a monumental challenge. Yet deep down, she preferred this unknown fate to enduring another day of mistreatment from her alcoholic father.
