A quiet literature student stumbles onto her professor's most private secret — and discovers she can't look away. When David Winters pulls Catherine out of a night that could have destroyed her, one rescue becomes a forbidden affair carried on under her tycoon father's own roof, hidden behind closet doors, locked lecture halls and an antique amulet broken in two between them. But her best friend wanted him first, her father has a merger to close, and Catherine's own face and name become the weapon that puts David in handcuffs. Framed, disgraced and traded away into a marriage she never agreed to, she must decide how much she's willing to burn to reach the man everyone says she destroyed. In a world of money, envy and appearances, the truth costs more than the lie.
