My family was my driving force.

Everything I did was to uphold the Moretti name, to prove to my father that he could step down in peace.

But I was hiding my true nature behind an easy smile and forced control.

Then, I met her and she wanted me whole, not part of me, but all of me.

Galina Whitlock hadn’t been what I was searching for, but she was the redemption I never knew I needed.

\n Galina Whitlock\n

My mother was my driving force.

She sacrificed her life so that I could have mine.

Everything I did was to right the wrongs of the healthcare system that failed her.

I thought I had it all figured out, but then I met him, and everything I thought I knew began to unravel right before my eyes.

Luca Moretti wormed his way into my life and heart, and now I needed him to help me pick up the pieces that were always meant to be shattered.
