They were never meant to love each other. But they were never meant to survive without each other, either. Heath De Luca was supposed to marry the perfect underworld princess—Nicole Morani. It was business. Power. Blood. But he was already ruined… by Phoebe. The girl he loved in secret. The girl he was forced to leave behind. Phoebe Morani has lived her whole life as a shadow in her own family. Unwanted. Unworthy. She knew better than to love the heir to an empire, but she did. And when he betrayed her—chose someone else—she let him go. Or tried to. Until the day of the wedding… when the bride disappears, and Phoebe is forced down the aisle instead. Now married to a man she hates for breaking her, trapped in a house full of secrets, and haunted by a love she can’t outrun, Phoebe finds herself pulled into a war she never saw coming. Lies twist around them. Old enemies rise from the ashes. And Nicole returns—with a story designed to destroy what little is left between them. But the greatest betrayal hasn’t happened yet. In a world where love is a weakness and loyalty is bought in blood, Heath and Phoebe must confront the worst truth of all: He was her ruin. She might be his salvation. But some love stories barely survive the fire.
