In a world where kindness is mistaken for weakness, Darielle Highmore learns that not every friend wishes her well. A quiet, hardworking lady at a bakery, Darielle dreams of building a better life despite the shadows of her past — a near assault in high school that shattered her trust in people. Just as she begins to heal, she catches the attention of Alexander Wright, a gentle yet ambitious man competing for the CEO position in his father’s company. Their growing closeness stirs hope in Darielle’s heart… and sparks deadly jealousy in another. Her supposed friend, Sheila Scott, cannot stand to see Darielle have what she’s always wanted — the madam’s praise, Alexander’s affection, and genuine peace. Together with Frank Thompson, a selfish and manipulative ally, Sheila plots to ruin Darielle’s life by using her deepest desire — a new job — as a weapon. But revenge has a price, and soon a gunshot shatters everything. Sheila lies in her own blood, leaving Darielle trapped in a web of blackmail, deceit, and fear. Haunted by a mysterious assault and convinced Mr. Bruks was the culprit, Darielle spirals into guilt and shame — unaware that darker truths are being buried around her. With Frank Thompson, Sheila’s secret ally, manipulating events from the shadows, Darielle must find the courage to face her trauma, uncover the truth, and decide whether love — and forgiveness — are still worth believing in. As Alexander fights to protect his reputation and win her trust, and secrets threaten to destroy them both, Darielle realizes that sometimes the greatest battle is not against others — but against the pain we hide within.

But just when Dawn melts the ice around Adam’s heart and finds herself falling for him… his wife wakes up. Now, torn between guilt, love, and betrayal, Dawn must fight not only for her place beside Adam but for the life she’s built—because some hearts refuse to let go, and some wounds refuse to heal.

I thought I knew betrayal. I thought heartbreak had a face. Until I walked in on my fiancé in bed with my own twin sister. That night, my world shattered—but life had other plans. I didn’t mean to kiss him. I didn’t mean to wake up in the arms of a stranger. I didn’t mean to sign a contract that would bind me to the country’s richest billionaire, Ace Stone, in a marriage neither of us wanted… yet neither of us could resist. He was arrogant, demanding, infuriating—but he was also the only man who could protect me from a scandal that threatened to destroy everything I had left. And I? I was a woman with a past, a secret, and a burning need to survive. But surviving wasn’t enough. Because in a world of lies, blackmail, and secrets, hearts collide, enemies become lovers, and the stakes are higher than I ever imagined. One night could ruin us. One sister could betray us. One choice could cost everything. Now, with our lives, love, and even our future hanging in the balance, I have to ask myself: Can I trust him? Can I trust myself? Or is this cursed love destined to destroy us both?

His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.
