"Marry me."

Thalia stared at Alexander Croft, the heir to the family she had always believed responsible for her parents' deaths.

"You want me to marry you? You actually think I'd agree to that?"

"Why not? You'll regain control of your family's wealth, and I'll have a partner who understands what it means to carry a family's legacy. You can't fight this battle alone."

Only days ago, Thalia had caught her husband, Brandon, in bed with her best friend. Betrayed and humiliated, she was forced to sign away her fortune, her shares, and control of her family's company.

Now Alexander, her family's greatest enemy, is offering her a way to take it all back.

Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than a business deal. She needs Alexander's power to reclaim her inheritance, while he needs her to secure his position as CEO.

But living under the same roof changes everything.

The cold and ruthless Alexander becomes her strongest protector, and the man Thalia swore never to trust slowly becomes the only person she can rely on.

Then the secrets of her family's past begin to surface.

The Crofts may not be responsible for her family's deaths after all.

As old enemies close in and the truth threatens to destroy everything, Thalia must uncover who really destroyed her family before she loses the fortune, the company, and the man she has finally learned to love.
