Ofelia is a ballerina who absolutely loves dance. She is also the daughter of a very prominent politician, and is expected to uphold a very distinguished appearance as a representative of her family. 

Fabián is one of the sons of the leader of the criminal empire known as the Raven Brothers. He is a perfect soldier for the cause, loyalties strongly tied to his father and this network of drugs and crime. That is, until he lays eyes on Ofelia.

Ofelia can’t help but be drawn to his darkness, and Fabián will do anything to keep her light in his life. This Latinx Romeo and Juliet reimagining will have you feeling all of the lust, love, and angst of a relationship forbidden by enemy families, and questioning the lengths you would go to keep this love, at all costs.

To say I’m obsessed with this novella is an understatement. I was clinging to every word and feeling on every single page.
