One night, one stranger, zero names exchanged, and the best sex of Wren Callahan’s life. By morning, he is gone, and by evening, her parents announce she is getting married to clear a debt her father’s collapsed company had made them drown in for years. Wren agrees only for her younger sister’s sake, and walking into the engagement dinner, she finds the stranger from the night before sitting across the table. Adrian Sinclair, a Billionaire CEO and the heir to one of Ashford’s most powerful families, knows exactly who she is, and he's not going to say a word. Neither is she, not when she finds out that it’s his family who destroyed hers. She intends to use every inch of proximity this marriage buys her to find out what really happened to her father, and get her revenge. She expects lies, enemies, and even expects Adrian to become one of those enemies. However, not only are her expectations shot down, but the possibilities of the truth she began hunting threatens to destroy both of their families, including the father she has been trying to avenge and Adrian, who steals her heart.
