Eight years ago, Ava, a poor pregnant young woman, was humiliated and thrown out by the wealthy Harrington family, while Easton—the man she loved—said nothing. Now she returns with her eight-year-old genius son, Leo, and enough money to buy the professional hockey team Easton captains. The town is shocked. Easton thinks she wants revenge or a second chance. Ava wants neither. She wants to reclaim her dignity, protect Leo, expose the family’s lies, and take control of her own life. As Leo’s brilliance and Ava’s cold confidence unsettle the team, Easton begins to suspect the boy is his son. Old betrayals surface, new alliances form, and the Harrington empire starts to crack. But Ava isn’t the poor girl they threw away anymore. This time, she holds the contracts, the truth, and the power—and she won’t let anyone take them from her again.
