Raquel never dreamed her future would be decided for her—let alone with a man who still wears his grief like armour.
Bound by an arranged marriage to a wealthy widower known more for his icy silence than his affection, Raquel steps into a household frozen in time. The late wife's portrait still hangs above the mantel. Her scent lingers in the hallways. And her memory lives on through the man’s young son—who meets Raquel's presence with cold glares and stubborn silence.
Winning her husband’s heart might take time. But earning the trust of a child who sees her as an intruder? That’s a battle Raquel never saw coming.
What begins as a reluctant union soon becomes a test of endurance, patience, and vulnerability. As secrets unravel and grief resurfaces, Raquel must ask herself
Can she build a future in a home built on sorrow?
Or will she always be just a stranger in someone else’s love story?
