On her wedding day, Sophia discovers her groom married her only to steal her family's estate.

Now she must decide: is her new protector a genuine ally, or just another man who wants to use her? And why does he keep looking at her like he already knows all her secrets?

"He was leaning against a black car outside the church, watching me run. Like he expected me."
"He said he wanted nothing from me. Men who want nothing are the most dangerous kind."
"I found a photograph in his study. My mother was in it. Standing next to Damien's father."
"Marcus showed up at Damien's gate with lawyers and a smile. I showed up with evidence."
"He fixed my bracelet clasp at dinner. Such a small thing. Such a dangerous thing."
"He slid a folder across the table. Inside was a contract. Not for the estate. For me."
"I didn't need Damien to fight my battle. I just needed him to watch me win it."
"My father didn't die in an accident. And Damien has known for two years."
"I burned the wrong contract at the altar. The right one was waiting for me all along."
