He was wrong for her from the start.
After three years apart, Cierra ""Cici"" Miano finally believes she has become strong enough to face the man she once left behind.
She has rebuilt her life, learned to stand on her own, and convinced herself that Raffaele Vigano no longer has any power over her.
So why does the mere sound of his voice still unsettle her?
Why does his intimidating presence bring back memories she has spent three years trying to forget?
And why, after everything that happened between them, does part of her still struggle to leave the past behind?
~~~
Raffaele ""Rafe"" Vigano once believed he had everything under control—his family, his powerful organization, and his marriage.
Then his wife disappeared from his life for three years.
Rafe searched everywhere he thought Cierra might have gone, but she remained beyond his reach.
Until one day, she calls him.
She needs his help.
Cierra may have walked away, but their marriage was never officially ended. And despite everything between them, Rafe refuses to ignore her when she is in trouble.
But his protection comes with a condition.
If Cierra wants his help, she must return and face the life—and the husband—she left behind.
Three years have changed them both.
Old wounds remain. Buried secrets are waiting to surface. And neither of them is prepared for what will happen when the past they tried to escape finally catches up with them.
Can Cierra trust Rafe again?
Can Rafe understand why she disappeared?
Or will their reunion finally destroy the fragile connection that three years apart could never completely erase?
