Four years ago, Kirrily Archer walked out of Lachlan Vance’s life with nothing but a suitcase and a ruined name. Lachlan, Sydney’s ruthless billionaire energy mogul, believed his contract wife had betrayed him. Someone had leaked confidential information from Vance Enterprises, causing a devastating collapse within his company. Every piece of evidence seemed to point toward Kirrily. He never stopped to ask why. He never discovered that Kirrily had been forced to take the blame. Someone inside his company had threatened her with the one thing she couldn’t afford to lose her younger sister, “Tahlia”. If Kirrily refused to cooperate, Tahlia’s already fragile health would deteriorate even further. So Kirrily sacrificed herself. She let Lachlan hate her. She let Sydney destroy her reputation. And when he threw her out into the rain, she left without telling him the one secret that could have changed everything. “She was pregnant.” Four years later, Lachlan’s empire comes under attack from an anonymous investor operating under the name Archangel. The mysterious trader isn’t interested in making money. Archangel is slowly buying Vance Enterprises from the inside, piece by piece. Desperate to discover who is behind the takeover, Lachlan follows the trail all the way to a secluded property in Byron Bay. He expects to find his most dangerous corporate enemy. Instead, he finds Kirrily. She’s no longer the frightened woman he remembers. She’s confident, guarded, financially brilliant and standing beside a four-year-old boy whose silver-grey eyes are unmistakably his. His son. Lachlan’s world collapses in a single moment. But before he can even begin to repair what he destroyed, another blow comes. The first DNA test says Toby isn’t his. Someone has tampered with the evidence. And this time, Lachlan refuses to make the same mistake twice. Determined to uncover the truth, he begins digging into the past he thought he understood. What he finds forces him to question everyone around him including the man who has stood beside him since childhood. “Callan Sterling.” His best friend. His most trusted executive. And the man who has been quietly destroying his life from the shadows.
