Background

Lily knows that life waits for no one, and when given the choice between love and career—she picks the practical path, and pays the price with her heart. Fate has a very twisted sense of humor though, and she is once again put on a collision path with her past. Will Lily turn her head away from love again? Or will she grab what is given to her—however false it may be. She founds out that she is the daughter of Emilio and Andrea, her true parents. And she is a true Cervantes.
