She was born into wealth. Bred for perfection. Promised to a man she never loved.
But hours before her engagement, Serena Vale disappeared—chasing a single name sealed in a forbidden envelope: Richard Calhoun.
In Detroit, she uncovers the first lie: her real father isn't Simon Vales... it's Richard. But the deeper she digs, the darker it gets.
Because across the ocean, another secret waits—one Richard buried long ago. A secret that could tear apart the automotive empire her family built.
And the last man she expected to follow her?
Alexander Ford. Billionaire. Heir. Liar.
The man who once made her heart race... and shattered it in silence.
Now, the past is catching fire.
The empire is cracking.
And the truth may be the most dangerous love story of all.
"If you run, they'll find you. If you stay, they'll destroy you.
So tell me, Serena—who do you trust?"
