By the time she builds a life of her own, she finds that security is fragile and loyalty can be dangerous. Her marriage falters under betrayal when her husband continuously cheats on her with other women. Stuck in a marriage that now feels like hell and in a moment of desperation, she runs away, reinventing herself, leaving behind everything she thought defined her. But escape is never simple. At IronClad Corporations, a rising giant in automobiles and weaponry, Samantha discovers new ambitions, new dangers, and a man she cannot ignore. Maxis, a manager, is magnetic yet untouchable, carrying secrets that draw her closer even as they threaten to consume her. The deeper she’s pulled into his world, the more she realises that some truths cannot be buried, and that the past has a way of hunting the living.
