Liana’s world is built on silence, structure, and suffocating rules. At eighteen, she has never been kissed, never been out past sunset, and never made a choice without her parents’ approval. In their eyes, love is a distraction—a threat to the perfect daughter they’ve raised.
But Liana is tired of being perfect.
When her bold, free-spirited best friend, Zara, helps her slip away for just one night, everything changes. A crowded café. A quiet boy with eyes that see through her. A spark she’s never felt before.
That one moment turns into a secret life: late-night texts, stolen glances, a love that blooms in shadows. But living a lie has its cost. With every step deeper into love, Liana risks losing everything—her parents’ trust, her future, and the fragile safety of the only world she’s ever known.
Now she must decide: will she keep hiding her heart to keep the peace, or will she finally live the life she chooses—even if it means breaking everything apart?
