“At twenty-one, she sacrificed everything to support her husband, Raphael, a struggling soccer recruitment agent with endless ambition. While his career rises to the top of the sports world, Daniela stands beside him through every betrayal, compromise, and sleepless night, until the day he serves her divorce papers, forces her into signing a brutal NDA, and leaves her drowning in debt with nowhere to go. With help from her childhood friend Lara and a favor called in behind the scenes, Daniela vanishes and starts over under a new identity. Three years later, Catarina is no longer the naïve girl Raphael destroyed. She's a brilliant doctor and physical therapist with nerves of steel. So when she's offered the one job no one else will touch, she takes it without hesitation. Alessandro was once soccer's golden star, until injuries, scandals, and a vicious temper turned him into every therapist's nightmare. Twenty-seven specialists have quit in three months. The media calls working for him a "suicide mission." Alessandro is determined to make Catarina quit like the rest. But Catarina refuses to be intimidated. Cold, witty, and always one step ahead, she meets every trap with a sharper comeback and every outburst with maddening professionalism. For the first time in years, Alessandro finds himself facing someone he can't control, and the more he pushes her away, the more obsessed he becomes with uncovering who she really is. Because Catarina is hiding secrets, and someone would do anything to keep them buried. And when her past finally catches up to her, Alessandro must decide whether she's just another employee... or the one woman worth destroying the world to protect.”
