My undercover mission goes wrong, and I'm captured, only to discover that the man I've loved for years is the heir to a powerful crime family. Desperate to keep me alive, Caspian hides me on a remote island. "Be good and stay here, Elowen. Once I convince my father to let you go, I'll come back for you." Only later do I learn the truth. The island is where the Hale family banishes its enemies and traitors. For an entire year, I fight to survive, coming close to death more times than I can count. When I finally escape, I return to the Hale residence to find my identical twin sister nestled in Caspian's arms. "Caspian, Elowen and I were both captured a year ago. Why did you save me and leave her behind?" He pauses, then looks at her with a tender smile. "My father only let me save one of you. You're too fragile. How could I ever leave you somewhere like that?" Something inside me goes cold. I turn to leave and walk straight into the arms of a stranger. "Ms. Vale, how would you feel about making a deal?" The man smiles lazily down at me. I recognize him immediately—Lucian Hale, Caspian's uncle and the man who rules the island. "Alright." Caspian, you're going to regret this.

Elowen Vale's POVInstinctively, I reached for the gun hidden up my sleeve and aimed it at him.But I was a second too slow.The gunshot cracked through the silence of the mountaintop.I flinched, only to hear something drop from the branches behind me. A snake landed on the ground, dead.My eyes widened when I saw the bullet wound in its body.He hadn't been aiming it at me.I turned to look at him in disbelief. "Caspian?"Caspian gave a bitter smile and lowered his gun. He walked over, picked up the dead snake, and tossed it away.When he turned back, he saw that I was still aiming my gun at him. Something dimmed in his eyes, and his smile turned even more bitter."I was just getting rid of the snake for you. You've always been afraid of them, remember?"I stood there frozen, my gun still trained on him. I didn't know what to think anymore, much less what I was supposed to do.The gunshot had alerted Lucian. I could hear him and his men racing up the mountain, their foots

Elowen Vale's POVThree days later, Lucian received word that Caspian had been spotted near our home. He immediately called his men and prepared to head out.My heart was pounding as I stood in the doorway, one hand resting protectively over the small curve of my stomach. "Lucian, be careful. I'll be waiting for you."He turned back and gently placed his hand over mine, a warm smile touching his face. "Don't worry. I promised you and our baby a family. I intend to keep that promise."An hour passed after he left. There was still no word from him.I paced the house, growing more anxious by the minute. A terrible sense of dread had begun to settle over me when my phone suddenly rang.It was an emergency call from the organization."Elowen, we have a problem. Caspian used a woman who looked like you from behind to lure Lucian away from the others. We've lost contact with him. We don't know if he's still alive."I froze. A chill swept through me, and my hands began to shake.I for

Elowen Vale's POVIt wasn't until after I married Lucian that I learned the truth. He had been working undercover within the Hale family all along, planted there by the organization.But that wasn't the only secret he'd kept from me.Lucian had grown up next door to me, and he'd been in love with me for years.Back on the island, he was also the reason I'd regained my sight. He'd secretly left the medicinal herbs I needed near the places where I usually hid, making sure I would find them without realizing they came from him.And all that time, he'd been watching over me from the shadows, keeping the other men on the island away from me.Over the next few years, I gradually learned the rest of the story from him.The Hales really did have an illegitimate child somewhere out there. The problem was, no one knew who that child was, not even whether they were a son or daughter.Years ago, the organization saw an opportunity and decided to exploit it. They planned for me to pose as t

Third Person POV"Please, Caspian. Don't kill me. Elowen was always better than me at everything. I couldn't stand it. If she had something, I wanted to take it from her."I knew you were in love with her, so I used what happened to Lyra to turn you against her before you ever had a chance to choose her. And even after I finally got you, you'd still say Elowen's name in your sleep. I hated her for it."Then I found out I was pregnant with Dorian's child, and I saw my chance. I thought if you believed the baby was yours, you'd never leave me."Ignoring the pain, Mara dragged herself toward him, tears streaming down her face.But Caspian didn't soften. With a furious shout, he shoved her away and pulled the trigger. "Go to hell!"A gunshot rang out. At the last second, Mara grabbed Lyra, who was tied up beside her, and pulled her into the line of fire. The bullet struck Lyra, and she collapsed."Caspian..." Her eyes went wide before she fell to the floor in front of him."Lyra!"
