Families tore them apart. Fate just brought them back together.
Twenty years ago, Nicole Laurent’s world shattered with a single email. Her marriage to Tripp Masterson ended in heartbreak, leaving her with nothing but unanswered questions.
Now she’s a fierce prosecutor, facing the only man she ever loved across the courtroom. But as the trial unfolds, buried secrets rise to the surface—secrets that prove their breakup may not have been their choice at all.
Families lied. Loyalties twisted. And the betrayal that tore them apart runs deeper than either imagined.
With passion still burning and enemies close at hand, Nicole and Tripp must decide—can love survive the truth, or will the secrets of the past destroy them all over again?
