My mother thought marrying billionaire Victor Knight would give us a fresh start.Instead, it led us straight into a nightmare.On the night of their wedding, I followed my mysterious new stepbrother into the woods behind the Knight estate, and watched him drag a blood-soaked body toward a freshly dug grave.Before I could scream, he caught me."You weren't supposed to see this."From that night on, Ryder Knight became my shadow. He watched me, protected me, and lied to me.The more I searched for the truth, the more impossible it became to hate the man everyone called a monster, but the biggest secret wasn't the body Ryder buried, it was the reason my mother married his father.Someone had spent years orchestrating the collision of our families, and every secret I uncovered brought me closer to a truth someone was willing to kill to protect.Now I'm trapped inside a mansion where no one is innocent, every smile hides a lie, and the only man I should fear may be the only one who can save me.But if Ryder isn't the villain. Who is?
