Back in college, Diana emptied her savings—$180,000—to save Cillian's life. They spent four years together, but he mistook her sacrifice for a debt that tainted their love. After their breakup, Diana's family loses everything, leaving her serving tables in Boston while struggling to clear their debts. Cillian, meanwhile, rises into the city's most untouchable crime boss. When fate brings them together again, he believes she has returned to ask for help and meets her with icy contempt. Yet Diana refuses to bend, determined to build a future without anyone's pity. With every encounter, Cillian sees the resilience and warmth he once took for granted. When he finally learns that her gift was all she had—and that she expected nothing in return—regret drives him to prove his love and earn a second chance.
