Beatrice Rivera's life appeared to be the epitome of perfection. As the sole heiress to the Rivera Empire, she possessed everything you could ever wish for-beauty, brains, and wealth. When her parents organized a marriage of convenience for her with a fellow elite who seemingly doted on her, it was assumed no better match could possibly exist. Sadly, nothing is ever as it seems. Beneath the designer dresses, alluring smiles, and extravagant jewelry, Beatrice was a prisoner. For years, she hid a terrible secret that could destroy the perfect life that had been designed for her. As her wedding loomed closer, so also did her fear that her secret would be betrayed in the worst way possible. However, everything changed one night. Not only was she forced to reveal her treacherous secret to her parents and fiancé, but she also discovered she wasn't the only one who had hidden skeletons for years. Would she ever be able to break the cycle of lies and manipulation that surrounds her? Or would she forever remain imprisoned by secrets?
