She was too young. He was too cold. It wasn’t supposed to happen.Amira was just looking for an escape when she ended up at that rich people’s retreat — the kind with yachts, champagne, and men in suits who don’t even blink at the price of a country.She didn’t expect him.Mikhail Devereux. Almost 50. Quiet. Sharp-jawed. Scary rich. And the most dangerous man in the room.He didn’t flirt. Didn’t smile. He just looked at her like she was already his.She should’ve walked away.She didn’t.And once he touched her, it was over.She didn’t know his name meant war.He didn’t know hers meant betrayal.Because the girl he’s falling for?The one he’s claiming in secret, breaking rules for, losing sleep over?She’s the daughter of the one man he’s sworn to destroy.And once the truth comes out…someone’s gonna burn for it.

She never planned to come looking for him. The man who ruined everything. The one her mother warned her about like he was some kinda ghost. Donovan Ward—media king, billionaire, and liar. And apparently... her father.Sarai Vale grew up knowing two things: that life wasn’t fair, and that the world wasn’t gonna save her. She worked, studied, struggled, watched her mother fade away from illness, and still pushed through it all. But right before the end, her mom gave her the one thing she’d never had—the truth.Now Sarai’s standing at the gates of the Ward mansion, not as a daughter, but as a stranger. A liar herself. Armed with a fake name, a fake job, and a very real plan to burn this place down from the inside.But the house isn’t what she expected. The people aren't either.Lilith, the perfect wife with ice in her smile. Donovan, the man who doesn’t even recognize her blood. And Cassian... her maybe-stepbrother, maybe-worst-enemy, maybe-something-else-entirely. He’s cruel with his words, calm with his eyes, and way too good at seeing through her.Sarai's here for revenge. To expose lies. To tear the mask off the family that forgot she existed. But the deeper she gets into their world, the more twisted it becomes. Secrets behind smiles. Power games behind dinner tables. And Cassian—who might just be the most dangerous one of them all.She tells herself she’s in control. That she’s only here for justice. That whatever’s happening between her and him, it’s nothing.But she’s lying. Again.Because somewhere between hate and obsession, something starts to burn.And Sarai’s not sure she’ll make it out of this house before it takes her with it.
