"Just let me take care of you." ​What Vivian doesn't know is that Oliver Ross is actually the "Ghost Billionaire"—the most feared, secretive tycoon in global logistics, whose face no one has ever seen. And he’s been dangerously in love with her since high school. ​By day, he plays the sweet, obedient husband. By night, he ruthlessly destroys her enemies.

For seven years, Tessa Marlowe lived as Roman Ashbourne’s secret wife, hidden from the powerful family that would never accept her. On the night he finally promised to introduce her to the world, he looked into her eyes and said the words that destroyed everything. “I have never met this woman.” Overnight, her marriage certificate belongs to her sister, her business is taken from her, her bank accounts are frozen, and every official record insists that Tessa Marlowe no longer legally exists. Yet the same man who erased her in public secretly pays her rent, protects her from unseen enemies, and still carries proof of a marriage he swears never happened. As Tessa fights to reclaim her name, she uncovers a conspiracy buried inside the Ashbourne family, one powerful enough to rewrite identities, erase lives, and silence anyone who learns the truth. If Roman truly betrayed her, why is he risking everything to keep her alive? And if he didn’t, who stole her life?
