A plane crash tore my husband and his twin brother apart. One survived. One did not. When I rushed to the hospital, I saw my brother-in-law, who had just survived the crash, locked in a passionate kiss with his wife. My husband? He lay lifeless in the morgue. Blinded by grief, I stumbled down the stairs…and lost the child I had spent three years longing for. Three years passed. Just as I was finally learning to breathe without him, I overheard a conversation between his closest friend and my brother-in-law: "How long do you plan to keep pretending to be your brother? Alicia is your legal wife." He adjusted his glasses, voice icy and distant. "I swore to my brother I'd protect Emily for the rest of my life. I am him now. As for Alicia… let her be the debt I carry into my next life." That's when I learned the truth. It was the brother-in-law who died in the crash. My husband, the man I had mourned all those years, had taken on his brother's identity to stay by Emily's side, the unattainable woman he had always secretly loved. So then what about me? The woman clinging to old memories, living in torture for three years. What was I to him?

Tiana Greene arrives on Lycan Isle with nothing but a suitcase, a scarred past, and a desperate need for work. When she is hired as a maid in the sprawling cliff-side mansion of Ross Lycan – the island’s reclusive billionaire – she expects long hours, strict rules, and silence. What she does not expect is the man himself: cold as the steel in his voice, brutally private, and carrying a shadow in his gaze that keeps everyone at arm’s length. Rumours whisper through the island of former staff fleeing in fear, of Ross’s cruelty, and of the mysteriously vanished brother whose memory haunts the mansion halls. Tiana tries to keep her distance, but every forbidden glance and accidental touch tightens the invisible thread pulling them together. When a near-fatal accident on the cliffs pushes Ross into her life more violently than either of them intended, the dynamic shifts. Ross grows protective yet distant, drawn to Tiana in ways he cannot accept – while she fights her own confusion over the man beneath the frost. As the annual island festival approaches, tensions rise. Tiana becomes a target for the island’s elite women, whose humiliation of her sparks a dangerous, possessive reaction in Ross. Social pressure thickens, rumours spread, and the boundaries of employer and servant begin to blur into something darker, deeper, and irresistibly intimate. But everything changes the night Tiana slips into a forbidden study and uncovers the truth about Ross’s past – a past woven with loss, guilt, and secrets buried beneath the island’s stormy surface. Now she must decide. Can she love a man built from shadows? And can Ross love someone brave enough to walk into the darkness he’s spent years trying to hide?

Aria et son petit ami, Marco, devaient célébrer leur cinquième anniversaire jusqu’à ce qu’il l’appelle pour lui dire qu’il ne pouvait pas venir, prétextant une forte fièvre. Pour lui faire une surprise, Aria prit un congé du bar où elle travaillait et alla chez lui avec de la soupe. Mais en arrivant, elle le surprit en train de coucher avec sa soi-disant cousine, la prenant par-derrière tout en gémissant bruyamment. Il ne sembla même pas surpris de la voir. Au contraire, il se moqua d’elle, l’humilia, et déclara qu’elle mourrait vierge avant de rompre avec elle sur-le-champ. Aria ne savait plus par où commencer. Elle l’aimait profondément. Elle se sentait trahie et complètement perdue. Elle retourna alors au bar et décida de se saouler pour la nuit. À quoi bon préserver une virginité qui n’avait plus de sens? Sans qu’elle le sache, sa boisson avait été mélangée à un aphrodisiaque par le gérant du bar, qu’elle avait rejeté auparavant. La voyant vulnérable, il tenta de profiter d’elle, mais avant qu’il ne puisse commettre l’irréparable, Aria fut sauvée par un homme mystérieux, dégageant un charme irrésistible. Il était incroyablement séduisant et musclé, ne paraissant même pas vieux malgré quelques mèches grises dans ses cheveux. Le corps d’Aria brûlant sous l’effet de l’aphrodisiaque, elle ne perdit pas de temps. Elle s’accrocha à lui et murmura d’une voix envoûtante à son oreille: "Mon ex-petit ami a dit que je mourrais vierge… mais je veux lui prouver le contraire. Est-ce que tu peux m’aider?" Sa voix, grave et sensuelle, répondit : "Bien sûr, tesoro. Je vais te vénérer comme tu le mérites."

Someone who was with her the entire time, or someone who went to lengths to fight for her life?
