Separated by a tragic fire on Christmas night, childhood soulmates Roo and Hawk are torn apart for sixteen years. Roo, now scarred and calling herself Annabel, is forced into a marriage of convenience to save her family—unaware her groom is Hawk, who now goes by Caesar. Bound by a cold business contract, Caesar remains haunted by the memory of the lost girl he loved, keeping his scarred wife, Annabel, at a cruel distance. In a gilded cage of shared history and hidden identity, Annabel must decide whether to reveal the painful truth of who she is or protect her heart from the man mourning a ghost that is actually her.
