When a proud heiress is forced to marry in her stepsister’s place, she discovers shocking betrayals and vows revenge. But as her bodyguard’s secret identity and their twisted past unravel, love, lies, and fate collide in a storm of passion and deception.

After three years in prison for her boyfriend Damien, Harper is freed and learns she's the long-lost heiress of the powerful Kingsley family. Expecting marriage, she instead discovers Damien is engaged to her best friend, and her adoptive father is tormented by loan sharks. With only James—the man whose life she once saved—by her side, Harper claims her identity, gains powerful allies, defeats her enemies, and finds love anew.

Alice's 16th birthday turned into a nightmare. Her beloved father, who ran a quiet little tavern, was murdered, which drags her into the crosshairs of the mafia. Just as the killers closed in, her father’s old friend, Uncle Hector, appeared like a storm and saved her. He revealed the truth: her father had been an undercover cop inside the mafia. But instead of taking her in, Hector sent her to an orphanage, promising to return in a year.
