Then comes an island getaway with her cousins and an unexpected collision with Vaughn, an infuriatingly handsome rogue with a tyrant's charm. What begins as an unwanted entanglement soon feels far from accidental. As secrets resurface and past connections unravel, Edelweiss is forced to question everything she thought she knew. Was meeting Vaughn merely coincidence or the key to uncovering the truth her family has buried for years?
