I loved my husband. After five years of marriage, Evelyn Hart had every reason to believe she had found the man she would spend the rest of her life with. Daniel was loyal, gentle, successful, and devoted to her. Their marriage wasn't perfect, but it was real. Then Alexander Hart came back from the dead. Daniel's older brother had supposedly died seven years ago, leaving behind a scandal, a missing fortune, and unanswered questions surrounding his disappearance. Now he is back—more powerful, more dangerous, and far too captivating for Evelyn's peace of mind. From the moment she sees him, Evelyn feels an attraction she cannot explain and doesn't want to admit. Alexander is the one man she should never desire, yet every encounter makes it harder to remember where loyalty ends and temptation begins. But Alexander hasn't returned simply to reclaim his place in the Hart family. When Evelyn discovers suspicious transactions hidden inside the Hart Foundation's accounts, she realizes Alexander's disappearance may have been connected to something much darker. Then an anonymous message warns her that someone inside the Hart family wants her dead. As secrets surrounding Warehouse Seventeen begin to surface, Evelyn discovers that her marriage may have been built on truths she was never meant to know—and that Alexander may know far more about her past than he is willing to reveal. She loves Daniel. She wants to resist Alexander. But when the two brothers are hiding secrets that could destroy everything she knows, Evelyn must decide whether protecting her marriage is worth ignoring the undeniable pull toward the man she was never supposed to want. Because sometimes the greatest threat to a marriage isn't the person trying to destroy it. It's the person who makes you question why you ever wanted to stay.
