Under the Paradise Tree - Marissa Peters

Luna, a determined journalist, is engaged to Marcos, a celebrated bullfighter and the son of a powerful queen with a dark history. When Marcos is gravely injured in a fight, Luna's world shatters, and she begins to seek comfort in his brother, Rey. Beneath the shade of a paradise tree, Rey has quietly fallen in love with Luna, but his pride keeps him from confessing it. As Marcos dies from his wounds, Rey manipulates Luna into marriage, not out of obligation, but driven by a love he can't openly admit. Torn between the weight of duty and her growing feelings for Rey, Luna must confront the complexity of love, loss, and the secrets hidden beneath their lives. In this tale of passion, deception, and unspoken desires, Luna must come to terms with her heart before she loses Rey forever.
