Vivian thought she was finally ready to give Noah everything. After two years of dating, she had spent seven months saving for his anniversary gift and had even bought the perfect red lingerie for the night she planned to finally take their relationship to the next level. Instead, she walked into his bedroom and found him with her best friend, Maya. The betrayal gets worse when Vivian discovers they have been secretly together for a year and six months. Humiliated, heartbroken and thrown out of the apartment she once called home, Vivian drives away with nowhere to go. Then she crashes into a stranger's Range Rover. Damian Blackwood. A billionaire heir who is supposed to be missing. Unlike Noah, Damian doesn't blame her. He doesn't yell. He doesn't demand payment for the damage. He asks if she's okay. Their encounter should have ended there. But fate has other plans. Damian is fighting a battle inside the Blackwood family. His grandfather is dying, the family empire needs a successor, and his uncle Richard is determined to take the position Damian was born to inherit. Vivian wants nothing to do with billionaires, complicated families, or any other relationship. Damian has no intention of falling in love. Then they meet again. And again. And somewhere between Damian protecting Vivian and Vivian becoming the only person who sees the lonely man behind his billionaire mask, something neither of them expected begins to grow. But Damian's family has secrets. Richard has an agenda. Noah and Maya aren't willing to let Vivian move on. And when Vivian becomes the one thing Damian cannot afford to lose, she becomes the easiest weapon to use against him. Damian Blackwood has spent his entire life learning that everything comes with a price. Until Vivian.
