Her sister disappeared on her wedding day. Eva was left with only two choices: watch both families drown in scandal or put on her sister's wedding dress and marry billionaire CEO Julian Castellan. She chose the marriage. She wasn't prepared for Julian to look at her as though he had been waiting five years for her to return. Five years ago, she had promised to marry him. Then she disappeared without a word, leaving him with nothing but betrayal and unanswered questions. Now she was standing in front of him again, wearing another woman's wedding dress and claiming she had never met him. She has no memory of Julian. She doesn't remember loving him.

Years later, she returns as a woman Julian can no longer control, with a successful empire of her own and one goal in mind: Find the people who stole her past—and make them pay.
