Being Adalyne

She has freedom at last—but freedom doesn’t mean forgetting. Adalyne should feel liberated. After breaking away from the crushing grip of her family’s cult and the marriage of convenience that bound her to Jazmin Valencia, she finally has the life she once only dreamed of: her own choices, her own body, her own future. But independence is lonelier than she imagined. Navigating a world of possibility—women who adore her, nights filled with promise, and a heart desperate to belong—Adalyne discovers that freedom also means facing the ache she cannot outrun. Because no matter how many arms she finds herself in, one truth remains: she is still married to Jazmin, the woman who both saved and shattered her. Caught between the lure of new beginnings and the ghost of a love that refuses to fade, Adalyne must confront a question she has long avoided: can she truly become her own if her heart has never stopped belonging to someone else?
