Reborn legally as Nora Whitlock, she sells the villa Dominic gave her and leaves America after rescuing Rory, the missing heir of the Thorne family. In Scotland, she saves Rory’s brother Callum during a beach assassination attempt, earning a powerful protector. Dominic follows, convinced that money, regret, and their shared past can bring her home. But Nora has finished paying for other people’s happiness. As old alliances collapse, she chooses her own future, discovering that freedom can begin where a marriage ends.
