Suffering at the hands of her own family, Marielle Tallington never expected her wedding day to become her greatest humiliation. Accused publicly of an affair, a cruel trap orchestrated by her stepsister, Marielle makes a desperate choice to protect her mother’s inheritance: she marries a stranger. But she has mistaken his identity. The man she married is Noah Horne, Patriarch of Horne House and one of the most powerful and feared figures in Atheneum. While Marielle hides her secrets and pursues her own goals, Noah searches for a mysterious thief, and the trail leads dangerously close to his wife. As secrets from Marielle’s mother’s past begin to surface, their unexpected bond threatens to blur the line between deception, desire, and trust.
