For sixteen years, Adeline Vanderbilt has lived as the wife of Nikolai Alekseev-the cold, powerful man she was forced to marry in a loveless, arranged union. Their wedding was a transaction, their life a performance, and her heart a casualty. She gave him three children: Ivan, the stoic heir; Theo, the loyal shadow; and Zaleia, her fierce little girl who still sees the warmth in her mother's arms. But while Adeline endured years of betrayal-watching Nikolai fall into the arms of countless women, especially one who stole the love of her sons-she never broke.
Because Adeline has a secret. One that could destroy everything they think they know. One that will unravel the truth behind the Alekseev legacy, their children's bloodlines, and the lies Nikolai built his empire on.
And when it comes out... no one will leave unscarred.
