blurb: “You walked away from our marriage like it meant nothing.” “Because loving you meant losing everything I’d built.” “Then watch me destroy it.” Five years ago, billionaire heir Damien Blackwell made a devastating choice—he abandoned his secret husband, Luca Rivera, to protect his empire and hide his truth. No goodbyes. Just a cold betrayal that shattered them both. Now Damien needs a miracle. To claim his inheritance and take over the family empire, he must prove he’s legally married—and there’s only one man who fits the bill. But Luca is no longer the soft-hearted lover Damien left behind. He’s re-emerged as Lucas Vale, a ruthless tech mogul with a new name, a bulletproof reputation, and a heart hardened by betrayal. When Luca agrees to play the part of Damien’s doting husband—for a price—their fake reunion ignites a wildfire of buried passion, unresolved rage, and secrets that could destroy them both. Because one of them is hiding a secret that changes everything—and someone in Damien’s circle wants Luca gone... permanently. Love. Lies. Legacy. Will their second chance save them—or finish what heartbreak started?
