What if the woman he walked away from... was the one thing he could never escape? What if the wife he thought he buried-in name, in love, in memory-returned with a truth sharp enough to cut through every lie he ever lived? A decade of silence ends when Mara Valenne steps out of the shadows, no longer the timid bride who once begged for scraps of affection. She returns as a woman rebuilt-stronger, wealthier, and holding secrets that could shake the world Cassian Dray controls so ruthlessly. He wanted her gone.He expected her forgotten.He never imagined she would rise. Drawn into a storm of betrayal, hidden identities, and a love neither of them fully understands, readers will experience a journey of heartbreak, power, and a woman reclaiming a life that was taken from her piece by piece. As the past claws its way back, one question burns: When a buried wife returns, who survives the truth she carries? If you're ready for a story filled with intensity, emotional depth, slow-burning tension, and a heroine who refuses to stay silent, step into Mara's world-where every page pulls you deeper, and nothing is what it seems. Dive into the mystery. Follow the passion. Turn the first page... before the truth digs itself up.
