She was tied to a bed, forced to recite poetry, then pushed from a car and left for dead—while the man she loved married another woman. Five years later she returns with a son, a radio voice that haunts his nights, and a plan that will burn his empire down. Jocelyn "Nora" Tanaka isn't the same terrified girl anymore. She learned how to play people, how to plant doubt, and how to pull a trigger on reputation. Her targets: Gavin Ross, the ex-fiancé who sold her like goods; Hailey Davenport, the social-climbing rival who takes everything she wants; and the city that applauded while she drowned. When Magnus Cervantes—the ruthless magnate who once toyed with her life and now unexpectedly becomes the one man who can ruin or save her—shows up, the game changes. He is danger wrapped in silk: a man who remembers, a man who can protect, a man who could also be the father of the child she keeps hidden. This is a fast-burning tale of payback, power, and the single, unbreakable promise a woman makes to herself: she will not be a victim again. Whoever pushed her will learn what it means to meet their past…and lose.
