Except Judith is already carrying his child, her estranged billionaire father suddenly wants her back in his life, and Benjamin's dangerous ex-fiancée will stop at nothing to reclaim what she believes is hers.

They destroyed her once, she'll make them wish they'd finished the job. Eleven years ago, Seraphina was cast aside, deemed worthless by her ruthless father for being "giftless" in a world where supernatural abilities meant everything. He chose his empire over his daughter, leaving her and her mother to fade into obscurity. She rebuilt her life in the shadows, found love, dared to dream of a future free from her brutal past. Then the man she loved poisoned her wine, murdered her mother before her eyes, and left her for dead. All for a price paid by the family that had already abandoned her once. But Seraphina didn't die. Now, masked behind blond hair and gray contacts, she has infiltrated her father's mansion as a bodyguard. Invisible, underestimated, armed with five impossible gifts no one knows she possesses. Every smile hides a blade, every kindness conceals a trap. Her traitorous ex-lover lives in luxury bought with blood money. Her manipulative half-sister plays deadly games in gilded halls, and behind the family's gleaming facade lies a conspiracy of embezzlement, blackmail, and horrors too dark for daylight, including an elite human auction where the city's powerful bid on human lives. Seraphina has become a ghost haunting her own past, collecting evidence, forging dangerous alliances, and orchestrating the downfall of everyone who thought they'd buried her. The betrayer will beg. The family will burn. And the father who deemed her worthless will watch his empire crumble at the hands of the daughter he should have loved. In a world where power is everything, she'll prove that the most dangerous gift is the one no one sees coming. Revenge is a dish best served by the dead.

**Marisol thought she was hired to save a resort. She didn't know she was hired to save a man, or that he'd end up saving her in ways she never imagined possible.** When Marisol Reyes accepts a position as resort manager at Julian Davenport's exclusive Caribbean haven, Coral Haven, she's running. Running from a humiliating past, from a fiancé who shattered her in the most public way possible, and from a life that felt like a carefully constructed lie. She doesn't expect the ruthless billionaire owner to notice her. She certainly doesn't expect his icy exterior to hide a man desperately searching for something he can't name, something he's convinced doesn't exist. But Julian notices everything. He notices how she transforms his sterile, algorithm-designed resort into a space that actually feels like home. He notices the way her quiet strength makes him want to lower the walls he's spent a lifetime building. He notices her, in a way that terrifies him. And when a hurricane traps them on the island with nowhere to hide from each other or themselves, the carefully constructed boundaries between them shatter completely. Then reality crashes down harder than the storm. Marisol discovers the devastating truth: she was never hired for her talents as a manager. She was hired to be a solution to a scandal, a pawn in Julian's calculated game of reputation management and his mother's manipulation. She's not his equal. She's his strategy. And everything between them, every late night, every confession, every moment she believed was real, was orchestrated before she ever arrived. Walking away should be simple. But Julian has already infiltrated her heart, and when the paparazzi forces his hand, he makes a public declaration that transforms their false narrative into something terrifyingly, dangerously real. Suddenly, the line between performance and authenticity blurs beyond recognition. Now Marisol faces an impossible choice: can she trust a man who built his empire on control and calculated moves, or will she disappear back to the mainland before his obsession with her becomes just another commodity he owns? Because sometimes the only way to find redemption is to risk everything on the one person who was never supposed to matter, and discovering that maybe, just maybe, he's the only person who ever did.
