They watched her plan a future that everyone else knew would never happen.And nobody told her.When the truth finally comes out, Amara doesn't scream. She doesn't fight for explanations.She simply disappears.Two years later, Amara returns home for the wedding of the sister who helped destroy her life—and the man she once loved.But she doesn't return alone.She arrives with Mikhail Volkov, the dangerously powerful Russian businessman whose icy blue eyes rarely show emotion.And his five-year-old twins.A little boy and girl who refuse to call anyone but Amara their mummy.As Amara walks into the wedding she once thought might have been hers, her family quickly realizes something terrifying.The woman they betrayed did not disappear.She became someone they could no longer reach.And she was loved by a man who would burn down every wall between them if they tried to hurt her again.
