KESSY
“I spent years wishing he would look at me as something more than his little sister. The night he finally held me like a woman, he didn't even know it was me.”
— Evelyn Hart
Evelyn Hart has spent her life learning to become invisible. After growing up with an abusive father, she hoped her mother's marriage to wealthy businessman Richard Whitmore would give her a better life. Instead, she found herself in a mansion where she was treated like an outsider.
Only Adrian Whitmore, her stepbrother, made her feel wanted. He protected her, defended her, and became the one person she could depend on. But somewhere along the way, Evelyn fell in love with him, knowing he would never see her as anything more than family.
On her university graduation day, Evelyn is told to leave the Whitmore mansion and build a life of her own. That same night, during a masquerade ball, Adrian is drugged. Heartbroken after hearing him call for another woman, Evelyn makes an impulsive decision that could change everything.
By morning, she carries a secret she cannot undo.
As Evelyn begins a new life in Boston, Adrian discovers that losing her is nothing like he imagined. But between family secrets, jealousy, and a suspicious masquerade, their feelings may cost them more than either is prepared to lose.
