Ten years ago, Rosalie walked away from the man she loved after he betrayed her and married her stepsister. Since then, she has built a powerful career from the ashes of what they once were, convincing herself she had long moved on. But when she comes face-to-face with Elliot again-now a powerful and secretive CEO-old wounds begin to open, and the heart she thought had healed starts to bleed all over again. Some ruins never truly stay buried.

Esther sees something else. And her siblings? They don't know what to do with her. But she knows how to stay alive. She builds, observes, survives. She doesn't need to be wanted.
