She ran from her past, but her past is her new boss. Now, he holds the key to her secrets.
Freedom. Independence. Escaping the suffocating grip of her family. For years, that's all Rebecca Bloom-Crest ever dreamt of. But when her carefully laid plans crumble, she's forced to flee, leaving behind the life she knew and assuming the new identity of Becca Bloom.
Becca lands the job of a lifetime as a secretary at the prestigious Zenith Corporation. Little does she know, her new boss, the ruthless and enigmatic Dorian Van Der Zenith, is the very boy she ran from years ago - the boy she was betrothed to since childhood.
Dorian recognizes Becca instantly, a flicker of the past igniting in his cold, calculating eyes. He's captivated by the woman she's become, a yearning for what could have been clawing at his heart. But Becca, determined to protect her newfound freedom, fights tooth and nail to keep her past buried.
Dorian, however, holds a trump card - a trove of secrets about Becca's family, secrets that could shatter her carefully constructed life. He offers her a chilling proposition: fall back in love with him, rekindle the flame he believes they once shared, and he'll keep her past hidden.
A gripping page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very end. Perfect for fans of forbidden love and sizzling secrets.
