When a former con artist returns to the glittering coastal town of Marrow Bay, she carries only a new name and a single intention: destroy the Hollis family. The same dynasty that ruined her mother’s life now rules the town with clean hands and dirty money, and she plans to make every one of them bleed reputation first, legacy second.But the plan fractures the moment she crosses paths with Caleb Hollis, the family’s quiet, overlooked youngest son. Sharp-eyed, gentle-voiced, and far too observant, Caleb isn’t like the rest of them. He sees things people don’t want noticed and for the first time in years, she feels seen too.Their chemistry sparks with dangerous heat neither of them wants and both of them feel. As she threads herself deeper into the Hollis world, her lies tighten, Caleb’s suspicions sharpen, and buried corruption starts clawing its way to the surface.When she uncovers a truth that changes everything about her mother, about Caleb, about who the real enemy is she must choose between the revenge she built her new life around…and the one person she never meant to want.
