After a decade of unrequited love ends in humiliation, Vivian makes a desperate deal: a marriage of convenience with a mysterious stranger to escape her oppressive family. Her new husband is quiet, respectful, and strangely intuitive about her every need. Just as she begins to find solace in their arrangement, her past crashes back in. That’s when she discovers the shocking truth: her “stranger” husband is the powerful heir who has been watching over her, protecting her, and loving her silently from the shadows for all ten of those lost years.
