Driven by her family’s greed and desperation for their approval, Evelisse did the unforgivable—she drugged the powerful billionaire and spent one reckless night in his bed. A single mistake shattered Draven’s seemingly perfect relationship and bound Evelisse to him forever when she discovered she was carrying his child.
