Forced to replace her stepsister at the altar, Ivy Hart marries Lucian Vale—a billionaire believed to be paralyzed and disfigured after a mysterious crash. The moment she touches him, she hears his thoughts and discovers two impossible truths: Lucian can walk, and she is the woman he has secretly loved for three years. Their marriage pulls Ivy into a deadly conspiracy involving stolen credit for saving Lucian's life, attempted murder, family betrayal, and a corporate takeover. As enemies try to frame and kill them both, the “maid bride” everyone mocked becomes the one person capable of protecting Lucian, exposing the truth, and taking control of his empire.
