“"Eat your food, sister. Keep my baby healthy. Because the second you push him out, he's mine, and you're never seeing the light of day again." Valerie Rose crawled through literal fire to save blinded billionaire Ewan Shaw, burning her own skin to keep him alive. But on the morning his sight returned, her identical twin sister, Vanessa, drugged her, stole her clothes, and took her place beside his hospital bed. Framed for the bombing by her own father, Valerie was locked away in a basement clinic. Eight months later, after giving birth to Ewan's son, Vanessa snatched the newborn from her arms and passed him off as the Shaw heir before sending Valerie to an offshore asylum to die. Five years later, Valerie returns from the dead. With a new identity, a vast fortune, and ice in her veins, she has no intention of begging Ewan for his love. She's back for her son and to burn her sister's stolen life to ashes. For five years, Ewan has lived in a loveless marriage, still searching for the ghost who held his hand in the dark. He's about to discover that he married the woman he married destroyed the life of the only one he truly loved.”
