Synopsis

“You’ve always been my choice.” For as long as Isabel Rivera can remember, she has been completely infatuated with Daniel Ríos. A shame, not only because he is her oldest brother’s rival and painfully indifferent to her existence, but also because he hasn't shown himself in their small town since he first took off eight years ago. Now, just back from college, Isabel is once again living on her family’s ranch, as well as under their supervision, when she learns she's not the only one to recently return home. She's also not the only one sneaking glances when they shouldn’t be. From the moment they set eyes on one another again, Daniel and Isabel can’t seem to stay apart. However, with family expectations and echoes from Daniel’s past following them wherever they go, the question quickly becomes not whether they can keep their relationship a secret but whether they’ll be able to keep each other if they don’t.
