A one-night stand, and afterwards, her life comes crashing down.
Kahlan thought she’d left her past behind—until one unforgettable night with Aldrich Maximus, the brooding rugby gang leader of high school, changes everything. But just as sparks ignite, her world shatters. Rushed to London to save her dying billionaire father, she’s forced into a chilling contract: marry Emiliano, her father’s ruthless business partner’s son, or lose everything.
Kahlan becomes trapped in a gilded cage with a man who treats her as nothing more than a maid and then, she dares to escape—only to discover Aldrich, the man she yearns for, is now married to her best friend with a son.
And somehow, Aldrich despises everything about her.
Her life is slipping through her fingers. Can Kahlan fight to reclaim what was stolen—or will she be pulled back into a world of betrayal, heartbreak, and danger?
