He left her on their wedding day. Now he's back, with a target on his back and a secret that could destroy them both.
Clara Monroe has spent the last seven years burying the past, the love that vanished, the pain that never left, and the man who shattered her world without a word. She rebuilt her life from the ashes, stronger, colder... and determined never to let Ethan Black haunt her again.
Until he returns.
Broken, hunted, and desperate, Ethan crashes back into her life with a chilling revelation: he was forced to disappear, and now he's the only one who can expose a powerful covert operation that kills to stay hidden, the same operation that marked him, and now Clara, for elimination.
As old wounds resurface and danger closes in, Clara must decide: can she trust the man who abandoned her? Or is he still the greatest threat of all?
Caught between a love that never died and a conspiracy that refuses to stay buried, Clara and Ethan must face their past to survive the present and risk everything for a future they may not live to see.
In a story of betrayal, secrets, and redemption, some hearts don't get a second chance.
But some loves... are worth waiting for.
