Description

He's the one secret you're desperate to keep, the perfect boyfriend your family can never know about. Hundreds of miles separate you from Axel, but the distance means nothing when he's on the other end of the line. Your relationship was born in the glow of your phone screens, built on late-night calls and a constant stream of messages that feel more real than anything in your life. He's patient, devoted, and makes you feel like the only woman in the world. But you're terrified. Your older sister has a cruel habit of becoming the center of attention, and a history of stealing your happiness—and your boyfriends. You can't bear the thought of her sinking her claws into the one good thing you have. So you hide him. To your family, he doesn't exist. To his, you're the girl he's going to marry. Now, Axel's patience is wearing thin. He doesn't want to be a secret forever, and the question hangs between you: when will you finally be brave enough to claim him?
