Elana always believed the only way to be loved was to change herself. Ernesto Vega—a fiercely honest builder with a creative soul— was the first person to see through her façade. But when his brutal honesty forced her to face truths she wasn’t ready for, their friendship shattered.

Now Elana must decide: keep hiding behind the masks that have always kept her safe, or risk everything for the one man who’s only ever wanted the real her.
