What if the place where you should feel safe becomes a place of danger? You think you've left the worst behind, but in truth, it's still ahead of you. After divorcing her husband, Ender flees with her young son to the secluded estate of old friends, hoping to finally find peace. But the shadows of the past catch up with her faster than she expected. Especially Levent, her former best friend, who has become a completely different person after the death of his wife, poses a challenge for her. Yet, Ender struggles to leave the past behind and focus on the here and now. Levent becomes her anchor.
Ender believes she has left the worst part of her past behind, but fate has other plans. Esme, an old friend, reappears - and not only her. Kaya, Ender's great love from the past, also returns to her life. However, Esme, who has been in love with Levent for years, cannot tolerate the closeness between him and Ender. Her feelings for Levent are not just romantic, they are obsessive. And she is willing to do anything to win Levent for herself - even if it means getting rid of Ender.
As Ender grapples with her resurfacing feelings for Kaya, Levent remains an important anchor for her. But Esme will not lose Levent again. She is determined to destroy Ender - and not only that. She begins to weave a dangerous web of intrigue that targets not only Ender but others in the estate as well. Soon, no one will be safe.
βThe FBI Agent with walls of steel and The Mafia Spy who couldn't feel.β

"Can you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"My love for you."
β’β‘β’
Kaya Skeats (real name: Artemis Crawford) could not, actually, feel his love. Because she couldn't feel or express much at all.
Suffering from alexythemia, the inability to verbalise, express and place emotions; Kaya was a weapon of seduction honed by the Chicago Outfit.
And now she had no more than four months to complete her hardest mission so far.
Mixing FBI business with Mafia pleasure.
Erex (Rex) Di Castillo had made it his life's mission to bring down a branch of the Outfit. It was justice that the Special Agent of the FBI's Organized Crimes Department sought, not love. As a man who kept to himself, women had no place in his life, not for one night and certainly not for a lifetime. But the deadly beauty with a sharp tongue invading each aspect of his life was making him question things.
She was a blank canvas so he became the spectrum of colors in her life.
The spectrum of emotions.
But with the good...
There always comes the bad.
And for Erex and Kaya, the game of love, deceit and guns was doomed from the start.
