Her world shatters when she recognizes him as Liam, the high school love who vanished and broke her heart eight years ago. As their calculated relationship rekindles a deep, forgotten passion, Alice uncovers a dark truth: Liam's coldness is a shield, and their reunion has pulled her into the crosshairs of a deadly family conspiracy that threatens to destroy the second chance at love they've just found.
