She escaped one marriage of power and betrayal only to fall for the one man fate had already written into her past. After her parent's reckless ambition and rising political debts forced her into a marriage with the ruthless and unfaithful heir of the Vale conglomerate, Cassara thought she’d left that cold, loveless world behind. The divorce gave her freedom but also left scars. Now, years later, a fleeting romance in Rome offers her a chance at love again. Kaelen is mysterious, gentle, and everything her ex-husband was not. But destiny plays cruel games. Because Kaelen D’Aris Vale isn’t just any man, he’s the son of her ex-husband’s uncle. A Vale through and through. And Cassara is about to learn that some ties don’t unravel so easily… especially when love, legacy, and revenge are woven in the same thread.
