Book 2. Chapter 1. The New Beginning

Five years stolen. A son taken. A heart betrayed.

Lucy Mason has survived prison, betrayal, and even death itself—or so her enemies believe. Rising from the ashes as Greta Stone, the poised and powerful wife of Gale Stone, she is no longer the naive girl they once destroyed. Now, she’s stronger, wealthier, and driven by a single purpose: revenge.

But when fate cruelly reunites her with Kent—the man who shattered her soul—and the son she was forced to give up, Lucy’s carefully built walls begin to tremble. Her enemies think she’s gone forever, but Lucy has returned, cloaked in a new identity and determined to make them pay.

Secrets unravel, forbidden desires ignite, and the past collides with the present in a dangerous game where love and vengeance blur into one. To reclaim her son and her life, Lucy must risk everything—even if it means losing her heart all over again.
