“Natalie Hamilton. She's soft-spoken, kind, and determined to keep her family's small shop alive. For months, Natelie has convinced herself she's falling for her boyfriend-the man she believed would protect her heart. But the deeper she looks, the more she starts to question everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and trust. Xavier Ashford Cold. Controlled. Ruthless. The rising CEO of the Ashford Industries. is feared by almost everyone who steps into his path. His anger is legendary, his silence sharper than any blade, and the shadows of his past have shaped him into a man who refuses to let anyone close. He blames his father for the scars he carries... and he will stop at nothing to make sure the past stays buried. But fate has other plans. When Natelie crosses his path, Xavier's world begins to crack-and the secrets his family tried to hide for years start clawing their way back to the surface. With tensions rising and old wounds reopening, Natalie is pulled into a storm far bigger than she ever imagined. The truth threatens to break them both, and the danger surrounding the Ashford family grows darker by the day. Will Natalie stand by Xavier when the past finally explodes? Or will the truth tear them apart before they ever have a chance at love?”
