For eighteen years, Sallie Noah was the Noah family’s cherished heiress, destined for a perfect life. But her world shattered on her eighteenth birthday when a stranger named Jill was revealed as the true daughter. Framed for a violent crime by those she trusted most, Sallie was sentenced to St. Chaim Reform Academy, a living hell designed to break the soul.
Two years later, she emerges as “Number Ten”—a ghost scarred by unspeakable torture. She returns home not to comfort, but to the cold eyes of a family that now despises her. Her place has been taken, her name erased, and the people she loved most are now her cruelest tormentors.
Broken and alone, Sallie is on the verge of giving up. Then she meets Todd King, a dangerous, magnetic man who recognizes the darkness in her eyes because he’s seen it before. He ignites the spark of vengeance within her, and her quest for justice begins. The Noahs destroyed her life. Now, she will dismantle theirs.

Johan's face melted into gentleness as he turned to me. "Of course. Let me escort you there," he replied. Without sparing Webster another glance, he guided me down the corridor.
