“After being fired from her job as a reporter, Eva Langston returns to San Francisco, only to find her family on the brink of financial ruin. Her once-thriving father now drowns in debt, and his last hope lies in a man she never wanted to see again, Lucian Thorne, her cold, calculating billionaire ex. Lucian agrees to save her father's company, but under one cruel condition: Eva must become his wife. Dragged back into the world of power, manipulation, and unsaid truths, Eva realizes Lucian has his own reasons for dragging her into this nightmare. As old wounds resurface and dark truths are uncovered, Eva must decide- can love survive their shattered past, or will the secrets lurking in both families destroy them for good?”
