Seventeen-year-old Angel Johanson has spent her life searching for a sense of belonging, but fate has other plans. Shy and self-conscious, she finds herself thrust into a world filled with danger, uncertainty, and a past she cannot fully understand. Determined to survive, she clings to the family that once rescued her, believing they are her only safe harbor.

Yet, as she settles into her new reality, one person continues to disrupt her fragile sense of control-Sean Callenger. Mysterious, compelling, and undeniably different, Sean and his family both terrify and intrigue her. While others see the sparks between them, Angel refuses to acknowledge what she fears most-her own growing emotions.

Her friends, however, refuse to stand by idly. In a bold attempt to force destiny's hand, they devise Operation Romance-a daring scheme to push Angel and Sean together. But just as she starts to believe she can keep her heart guarded, she uncovers a truth about Sean's family that changes everything.

In a world where nothing is as it seems, Angel must decide whether to fight against fate-or surrender to the possibility that some twists of destiny are meant to be.
