Daniel Thompson, the disgrace of his powerful family. A man branded as a good-for-nothing ex-con, shunned by society, and deemed unworthy of even a passing glance. No sane woman would dare marry him… except for Maria, the forsaken daughter of the Falcone family, who unknowingly walks into an arranged marriage with a man cloaked in shadows. But Maria didn’t just marry a stranger, she married a two-faced maniac. A man with a past so dangerous it could shatter everything. A man whose enemies whisper his name in fear. What happens when the world discovers who Daniel really is? Why did he bury his true identity in the first place? And most chilling of all… what twisted plan does he have for his new bride? Two black sheep. One deadly game. When secrets unravel and sparks ignite, will Maria regret the day she said, “I do”?

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.
