“"Where the hell is Victoria?!" Mrs. Langston's scream echoed through the hall, her voice trembling with anger. Everyone looked as confused as she was-the bride at the altar wasn't her daughter. **** Victoria Langston-powerful, ambitious, and determined to save her family's legacy, even at the cost of marrying someone she didn't love-billionaire Micheal Sterling, left everything behind. She survived a fire accident, only to wake up with no memory of her past and a burning desire to escape from the life they claimed she once wanted. Jake Blackwell, her fiercest rival who also turned out to be her savior, lost everything in the fire-his identity, his position as the CEO of the Sharks Luxury Hotels, and most importantly, his father's trust-driving him to seek revenge against the Langstons. In public, the two are sworn enemies, in a quest for power, and dominance over the other. But behind closed doors, their forbidden desires burn uncontrollably. Shattered by the flames, consumed by revenge, and betrayed by every trusted ally-will they discover the truth before their pain destroys them? Or will it be too late to heal their decaying scars?”
