Five years ago, Nora Ellis walked away from the only man she had ever loved. Adrian Hale believed she chose her career over him. He never knew that his powerful family had secretly destroyed their future before it even began. Pregnant and determined to protect her unborn child from the Hale dynasty, Nora left the city, leaving behind broken promises and a love neither of them ever truly buried. Now Adrian is the country’s youngest billionaire CEO, famous for replacing forgotten neighbourhoods with glittering places. When his late grandfather’s final will orders the Hale Corporation to restore a dying coastal town instead of demolishing it, Adrian is forced to work with the one architect capable of saving it. Nora. She has spent years rebuilding abandoned landmarks while quietly raising a six-year-old son whose grey eyes look exactly like Adrian’s. As old wounds reopen and long-buried lies surface, Adrian discovers that the woman he spent years resenting never betrayed him at all. But someone is determined to keep the truth buried.
