Elena Vale was dead. At least that’s what half of the world believed. The daughter of business tycoon and notorious gang leader Victor Vale had died in a fire right in a wicked turn of events. To Aria Rosen, Elena was dead and would stay dead. She had done everything perfectly and escaped the darkness that was her father and the West, laid low and slowly built a new life for herself. She was safe or so she thought. Adrian Blackwood, billionaire and CEO, a shadow from the past had somehow managed to step into her present and track her down. Leverage. Something a marriage would guarantee. Adrian Blackwood was not a big believer in the sins of the father skipping over the child’s head, not after his future was stolen and he was left bruised and bleeding. Revenge against the Vale family would be worth the wait and planning. Love and hate are thin lines and Adrian intended to make sure those lines never got blurred. But sometimes the truth does not lie in plain sight. Can Adrian and Elena overcome their past and uncover secrets with new threats emerging from the shadows? In New York, the deadliest weapon isn’t violence. It’s the truth. With everything they’ve worked for at stake, will they be able to break from the cages that hold them or will they lose everything?
