You will never understand.For five years, I was the wife of a billionaire who gave me the whole world. Julian loved me with his whole heart, but because of a painful childhood, he could never tell me no. He could never push me, correct me, or lead me. Now he is gone, and I am tired of being fragile. I want someone strong enough to guide me and honest enough to hold me to a higher standard. So I walk into The Anvil, a secret training house where people go to be broken down and built back up. What I do not know is that Marcus, my husband's quiet best friend, has loved me in silence for years and is already inside those walls. He made a promise to Julian. But Julian left more than a promise behind. He left secrets, and some people will do anything to keep them buried. Who can I trust when everyone I love is hiding something?

The man who lied to me wants me back. The family who never wanted me wants me gone. And a cold billionaire I have never met has already paid for the dress I will wear to dinner. Now everyone wants something from me. I only want the truth. But the more doors I open, the more secrets walk out. Who really sent me away as a child? Why does a stranger know my nickname? And who is paying people to keep me in the dark?
