He built an empire from the ruins they left him in. Now he's ready to burn down the lies. Once the disgraced son of a powerful California family, Edward Jason clawed his way to the top—alone. With grit in his gut and betrayal in his past, he turned scandal into success, proving everyone wrong. At his side was Clara, the woman who believed in him when no one else would. But when Edward uncovers her devastating betrayal—one tied to his oldest rival—his carefully rebuilt world begins to crumble again. Enter Sophia Carter, the woman he once rejected. Beautiful, ruthless, and hiding her own scars, she offers Edward a proposition that could change everything: marry her, and they’ll take back what was stolen. But as old passions reignite and hidden truths come to light, Edward is forced to question everything—his allies, his enemies, and even himself. Clara’s secrets aren’t what they seem. Sophia’s intentions blur between vengeance and desire. And lurking in the shadows is Martin Grayson—Edward’s former best friend turned enemy—who will stop at nothing to destroy him. To protect his legacy and uncover the truth, Edward must walk the razor-thin line between revenge and redemption. But in a world where love feels like a weapon and loyalty has a price, can he rise from the ashes of betrayal... without losing what’s left of his head.
