He thought betrayal ended his story. She's about to show him it's only the beginning. Canyon Kelly Built a billion-dollar tech empire from nothing. He survived abandonment, success, pressure-and thought he'd finally found stability in a ten-year relationship with the woman he was about to marry. Until he walked into his office late one night... and watched his fiancée in the throes of passion with his best friend and business partner. Weeks later, at what should've been their engagement brunch , Canyon exposes their affair in front of everyone. The world expects him to fall apart. Instead, he points to the one woman he never truly stopped missing: Lucía Navarro. His childhood best friend. The girl who once sketched him in secret. The light he didn't realize he'd lost until it was gone. Lucía wants nothing to do with Canyon's scandals-or his sudden need for a wife. Seven years ago, he stood by while the woman he loved humiliated her, shattering their friendship beyond repair. But when Canyon asks for one last favor, she agrees... because part of her heart never let him go. What starts as a marriage of convenience becomes something far more complicated. Canyon remembers every detail she never thought he noticed. Lucía begins to see the man she loved hidden beneath the one she left behind. But old wounds run deep-especially when Canyon drags her back to the place where everything fell apart. When Lucía's past pain crashes into Canyon's present regrets, their fragile connection shatters. She runs-again. This time all the way to Dublin, to the sister who helps rebuild her spark. Canyon crossed an ocean once to expose a lie. Now he'll cross it again to fight for the only truth that matters. She was always his light. This time, he's not leaving without her.

And a war between two powerful women for one unforgettable man. But Zara has one rule: "I don't fight for men. I let them fight for me." Let the games begin.
