Georgia Lewis had a carefully planned future. Marrying her longtime billionaire boyfriend, inheriting stability after the tragic death of her brother, and raising her orphaned niece in peace. But peace is a luxury Georgia can no longer afford. Her brother’s death at sea, bruised and thrown to the waves, was declared a drunken accident pinned on a disgraced ship captain. The case was closed, but the wounds never healed. Georgia is left to pick up the pieces: taking over their bankrupt business, dodging loan sharks, and the angry people whom her father and brother owe… in fear. When her wealthy fiancé proposes marriage, promising protection and financial freedom, she accepts, not only for love, but for survival. But everything was shattered in an instant.

As passion and danger collide, Georgia and Nick must fight for their future, outsmart powerful enemies, and uncover a murderous conspiracy hiding in plain sight. But revenge comes at a price, and so does love. Yet the more she resists him, the more addicted she becomes. And when the world wants to silence her...

Cassidy Calista married Ezekiel Theodore, the enigmatic heir to the world’s largest pharmaceutical empire. Their marriage wasn’t born from love, but from a deal between two powerful families. For four years, their relationship was nothing more than a contract—distant, cold, and carefully restrained. They lived like strangers bound by an unspoken rule: if either of them fell in love with someone else, the marriage would end—no questions asked. But when Cassidy caught Zeke with another woman, she didn’t ask for explanations. She simply handed him the divorce papers she had prepared from the very beginning. Zeke didn’t argue. He signed them—because he believed that’s what she truly wanted. He thought she wanted freedom… and from the way she looked at him, maybe she did. But once she was gone, something inside him broke. The silence of her absence made him realize the truth he had buried too deep— he had fallen in love with his wife — or ex wife. Now, after their separation, Zeke is haunted by everything he never said. And Cassidy? She’s carrying a secret. She’s pregnant. But with Zeke’s heart seemingly elsewhere, Cassidy is left with a painful choice: Should she tell him about the baby—or protect herself and disappear for good? Because as far as she knows, he’s already moved on. But what if she’s wrong?
