Ariana has spent her entire life trying to escape—from a family that never loved her, from a past that refuses to let her go, and from the scars that remind her she was never enough. Then she meets Damien Sterling. Ruthless. Untouchable. A billionaire who always gets what he wants. What begins as a chance encounter soon becomes a dangerous game of obsession, secrets, and undeniable attraction. The more Ariana fights for her freedom, the tighter Damien's grip becomes. And when long-buried truths about her past begin to surface, she realizes that the people she trusted most have been lying to her all along. In a world where loyalty is bought, love is dangerous, and betrayal comes with a price, Ariana has only one choice: Keep running... or surrender to the man she can never escape. Because some people steal your heart. Damien Sterling intends to keep hers.
