Unmasking the Heart

When the past resurfaces, will love conquer all?

Joi's life was already complicated—caught in a contract engagement with Adrian, a man whose coldness has made her wonder if she'll ever break through his icy exterior. But after their second kiss, feelings she never expected to surface begin to creep in. Just when she thought things might change, a new twist emerges.

Sophia, the woman from Adrian's past—the one he's never stopped searching for—returns, turning Joi's world upside down. Adrian’s reaction is cold, but the moment he lays eyes on Sophia, everything changes. Passion, unspoken history, and raw emotion flood the room, leaving Joi questioning her place in Adrian’s life.

But Sophia’s return isn’t the only storm on the horizon. Shane, a man who has never hidden his attraction to Joi, now has his sights set on winning her heart. Will his persistence tear apart the fragile connection she’s started to build with Adrian?

As Joi’s heart battles between love and heartbreak, a much darker truth about her past threatens to surface. Abandoned by both parents and forced to hide her true identity, Joi has learned to fight alone. But now, with Debbie scheming to ruin Joi’s relationship and her past lurking around every corner, will Joi find peace—or will the shadows of her history claim her future?
