He is attractive, charismatic, and at the same time, an emotional storm. When they reunite, the dormant feelings resurface with overwhelming intensity.

"You can try to run from me, Isabela, but the music that connects us will never be silenced," Nate says, with a provocative look that makes her question her priorities.

Amid rehearsals and challenges, Isabela finds herself torn between her irresistible desire for Nate and the need to dedicate herself to her career. As secrets from the past come to light, she must decide if she is willing to take the risk of loving again, even if it means confronting her own insecurities and fears.

"She's dirty," accused the boy I loved.
"A slut," his sister added.
I finish mixing the dye, noticing how the deep red color is identical to the blood staining my white lace dress. As I apply the dye to my dark blonde hair, my mother’s distant screams show it has begun. I am killing my old self so another can be born.
I wrap myself in a red shell.
I raise my shields.
I become a wall.
And no one will ever lay a hand on me to hurt me again!
