Aria Voss does not do second chances. Not in love. Not with men who let someone else rewrite her story and called it fate.Five years ago, she walked away from London, from the man she loved, and from the future she thought was hers with nothing but a carry-on bag and a secret growing inside her that she swore she'd protect with everything she had. She rebuilt herself from zero. A firm in New York. A daughter with grey eyes she tries not to look at too long. A life that belongs entirely to her.Then Dominic Ashworth walks into her boardroom.Billionaire. Ice-cold in a suit. Still the only person who has ever made her feel like the ground was shifting beneath her feet.He doesn't know about Isla. He doesn't know what Celeste did. He doesn't know that the night Aria disappeared wasn't a choice, it was a crime, carried out by the woman he married, to keep him from ever finding out the truth.But secrets don't stay buried when the wrong people start digging.And Celeste has always known exactly where the bodies are.As the walls close in on Aria's career, on her daughter's safety, on the fragile silence she has built her life on Aria must decide whether to run again or finally let the man who once broke her heart stand between her and the woman trying to destroy her.SHATTERED CROWN is a scorching, emotionally raw billionaire romance about betrayal, survival, a love that refuses to stay dead, and a woman who discovers that the most powerful thing she ever did wasn't leaving it was choosing to stay.For fans of high-stakes romance, complex heroines, and the kind of slow-burn tension that makes you forget to breathe.
