Zahara Cruz has always walked her own path—strong, sassy, and unapologetically independent. When betrayal leaves her heart in tatters, she vows to never trust a man again. That is, until Kellan, the charming and dangerous man who once had her heart, crashes back into her life. With every apology, every attempt to win her back, Kellan only deepens the chaos inside her. But Zahara is no one's fool.

As Zahara dives into the wisdom and power of the goddess Lakshmi, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and the kind of love she never expected—one that begins with loving herself first. Lakshmi’s divine presence guides her through a maze of choices: Kellan’s desperate redemption, the temptation of the perfect Andre, and the allure of a mysterious admirer who sees Zahara for exactly who she is.

But Zahara knows one thing for sure—she’s not looking for a fairy tale. She wants stability, trust, and a man who can offer her more than just promises. Will Kellan prove he’s worthy of a second chance? Or will Andre sweep her off her feet with his steadfast commitment? Lakshmi, however, is clear—Zahara must choose the life she truly wants, not the one her heart has been tricked into believing it deserves.
