Wanting her was easy. Choosing her was impossible.
Luise Maida has spent her life in the spotlight—heiress to a political dynasty, brilliant, beautiful, and unyieldingly controlled. Every move, every achievement, every smile was part of a plan crafted long before she could choose her own path. Greatness was expected of her. Happiness was not.
Then she met Elio Morosini.
Bound by vows he never meant to make, Elio lived a life of quiet duty—his marriage a picture of calm for the world to see, even as longing burned beneath the surface. From the first moment their eyes met, the connection was instant—electric, consuming, and utterly forbidden.
Determined to resist, they became friends instead. Business trips turned into stolen weekends, messages into confessions, and distance into a fragile kind of devotion. Every shared secret brought them closer; every touch reminded them of the line they could never cross.
Now, years later, the boundaries that once protected them are beginning to blur. As desire threatens to unravel the lives they’ve built, Luise must decide whether to protect her principles—or risk everything for the only love that ever felt real.
HIDE is a story of impossible choices, undeniable chemistry, and the haunting truth that some loves are too powerful to forget.
