Avery Thorne lost her memory one year ago. To secure her inheritance, she agreed to an arranged marriage. But on the night before the wedding, she met Silas at a bar—a man who looked exactly like the mute boy she had been dreaming about, the one she believed she had killed. They spent one night together. They married the next morning.
After the wedding, Avery discovered that Silas was not a stranger. He was the head of the Voss family, a powerful figure who matched her wit for wit and fire for fire. They fought, they teased, they made each other jealous. Behind closed doors, they built something neither expected.
But their families had other plans. Caleb and Peyton, the villains on both sides, targeted them relentlessly. As the pressure mounted, Avery began to remember. Piece by piece, her past returned.
She was not always Avery Thorne. She was Kate Cole, an undercover investigator. Her father had betrayed her. She had saved Silas once—he was the mute slave she rescued, and he had been working as a police informant. She never killed him. She saved him. And he had been watching over her ever since.
When the truth finally surfaced, they joined forces. They exposed the lies, dismantled the villains, and cleared the misunderstandings that had haunted them. Five years later, they found each other again—not as strangers, not as pawns, but as partners who had chosen each other from the very beginning.
