Cassidy Miles has never known an easy life. Tragedy follows her like a shadow, and after losing her mother, she is left completely alone at just 20 years old. Desperate to survive, she takes a janitorial job at the powerful Van der Bilt Corporation, hoping for a fresh start.

But instead of stability, she finds herself trapped in a dangerous game with Logan Van der Bilt—the ruthless CEO who seems determined to make her life even harder.

As Cassidy is drawn deeper into a world she never expected, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to survive—and whether the price of the truth is too high to pay.
