I thought the worst betrayal of my life was discovering that the man I loved wasn’t the man I thought he was.I was wrong.Because some betrayals don’t end when your heart breaks. They follow you. They wear familiar faces. They sit across from you at dinner tables and smile while plotting your destruction.After my engagement to Ethan Cole collapsed, I wanted one thing—distance.Distance from the lies.Distance from the humiliation.Distance from the future that had been ripped away from me.Instead, I found myself pulled into the orbit of the Blackwood family.All because of one reckless night.One night with a stranger whose name I didn’t know.One night I convinced myself I’d never have to think about again.I thought it was a mistake.A secret buried in the past.I had no idea that single night would drag me into a world of power, obsession, family secrets, and enemies hiding behind expensive smiles.Or that it would lead me straight to Adrian Blackwood.The one man capable of protecting me.The one man capable of destroying me.And the one man I should have stayed far away from.But some choices change your future.And some mistakes become destiny.
