Emilia Wallace, the Heiress of Wallace Holdings, had traded her freedom for a lifeline by marrying Derek Carson to save her father’s crumbling empire. But just six months in, that dream becomes a nightmare as she overhears Derek, her supposed husband plotting with his mother one fateful morning. She finds out that; The Carsons had never planned to help, rather they planned to steal, forge and to kill her if she tries to escape. Slipping into the night with nothing but evidence, rage, and two fierce friends who refuse to let her break, Emilia runs away. But Derek is hunting and is willing to go to extent just to hunt her down. Ethan Blackwood, the ruthless billionaire who is known to be cold and calculating has clashed countless times with the Carsons for years. Emilia approaches him and offers insider information in exchange for protection. He sees her plea as leverage and does not hesitate to show it. This makes her see him as arrogance wrapped in Armani. Yet when their worlds collide in a high-stakes alliance, distrust ignites into something far more dangerous; Desire. One woman. One deadly secret. One chance to burn it all down. In a city built on lies, the only way out is through revenge and the only heart worth saving was the Emilia never expected to claim.
