Sophie Ellison has spent twenty-five years as a nobody — an orphan who asked for nothing and received exactly that. Then a DNA test changes everything. She is the real Hart daughter, stolen at birth through a hospital mistake exploited by a greedy maid who dumped her and raised her own daughter in Sophie's place. Thrust into a world of wealth and enemies, Sophie quickly discovers her biological family sees her as a problem to manage. Her only ally, Nana Celeste, lies in a coma — put there deliberately by the imposter who refuses to surrender the life she stole. To seal a business merger, Sophie is handed into an arranged marriage with Rowan Vess — a quiet, unreadable man in a wheelchair who unsettles her in ways she cannot explain. She expects a prison. What she finds is someone who remembers things about her she has forgotten about herself. On their wedding night, Rowan stands up and walks across the room. The wheelchair was never the whole story. The accident was real. The recovery was real. The secret was calculated — because Rowan Vess has been searching for Sophie since the day a little girl saved his life and disappeared before he could learn her name. He didn't enter this marriage for the merger. He engineered it to finally bring her home. Now Sophie must survive Liora's escalating war, uncover the truth about Nana Celeste, and decide whether the man who built his entire life around finding her is someone she can trust with the heart she has spent twenty-five years protecting.
