With a ring, he promised her forever. But the promise was a lie. The ring was a trap.
Café owner Amy Beckett’s fiancé didn’t just break her heart; he leveraged it. Leaving her homeless, in debt, and cornered, he forces her into one last, degrading ultimatum to protect his perfect image.
To win her freedom, she must stage her own downfall.
Standing between Amy and total ruin is Matthew Warren, the dangerously compelling lawyer representing the ruthless landlord bent on bulldozing her beloved café. He is the face of her enemy.
She shouldn't want him.
But for the first time in her life, Amy feels truly seen. Matthew’s cool professionalism slips whenever he witnesses her pain, and the way he looks at her suggests he knows exactly what it means to be broken.
What begins as a forbidden alliance deepens into an all-consuming passion they can neither control nor deny. But in a high-stakes battle of lies and attraction, devastating secrets threaten to tear them apart.
Amy must figure out who to trust and who to fight. Because the greatest danger isn't losing her business, it's losing herself all over again.
