Ana Ravenscroft never expected her idyllic life would disintegrate so swiftly. Ana was married to Dorian Blackwood, a man whose name inspired awe and whose riches dazzled. She felt their love was unshakeable. Until one night, he wrecked her world.
On their third wedding anniversary, Dorian announces another lady as his fiancée, humiliating Ana and breaking her heart. Dorian's first love, Lila Moreau, is everything Ana isn't: rich by birth, smart, and seemingly faultless. Dorian's harsh remarks about finding his "true mate" haunt Ana as she walks away from the life they established together. What he does not realize is that Ana is carrying his children.
Determined to save her unborn twins from the corrosive world of riches and power, Ana flees to the peaceful town of Eirian Vale, where time stands still and legend pervades everyday existence. For five years, she has found comfort in raising her children, painting stunning landscapes, and living peacefully.
But her tranquility is shattered when Dorian appears unexpectedly, his domineering presence as disturbing as ever. Guilt and agony pervade his every word as he begs for a second chance. Secrets are revealed—Lila's homecoming was no accident, and Dorian's money made him the target of a dark plot. As danger approaches, Dorian discovers the presence of his offspring, which triggers a powerful protective instinct.
Will Ana risk her heart again for a guy who already broke it? Can Dorian show himself worthy of the family he almost lost? As love fights betrayal and danger threatens to ruin everything, Ana and Dorian must confront their past in order to safeguard their future.
