Declan Falco is determined to transform his father’s modest business into an empire—one that’s both lucrative and untouchable. Ambition drives him, but when he meets Vivian, his focus wavers.
Vivian Santos is unlike anyone he’s ever known—strong, guarded, and laser-focused on building a future far removed from the pain of her troubled childhood. Distractions don’t fit into her carefully planned life, and Declan is a distraction she can’t afford.
But Declan can’t stay away. Her resilience and fire captivate him, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to earn her trust and love—even if it means keeping her in the dark about the dangers that lurk in his world.
When those secrets come to light, and the risks hit too close to home, Vivian must decide if she can forgive Declan’s lies. Can their love survive betrayal, or will the truth tear them apart forever?
