I STARTED WRITING THIS IN 2017
In the heart of the Midwest, a ghost walks the halls of McKinley, McKinley, Rigg & Associates.
They know her as Liana , the quiet immigrant girl in oversized sweaters, surviving on overtime, cheap coffee, and silence. Invisible. Forgettable. Exactly how she wants it.
Because Liana is not her real name.
Before Chicago, before the thrift-store clothes and carefully lowered gaze, she was Nadia Dantes, the youngest daughter of one of the Philippines' most powerful political dynasties. Born into wealth, raised beneath chandeliers and cameras, she disappeared after becoming the scandal that nearly destroyed her family.
To the public, Nadia vanished.
To her father, the disgraced former Vice President desperate to reclaim power, she is a dangerous secret that must remain buried.
Then she meets Zachary Rigg.
Brilliant. Ruthless. Untouchable.
The billionaire heir to Chicago's most feared law firm, Zachary trusts logic over emotion and control over weakness. He looks at Liana and immediately knows something about her is a lie.
She acts poor, but carries herself like old money. She keeps quiet, yet somehow commands every room. The more he watches her, the more obsessed he becomes with uncovering the truth hiding behind her guarded eyes.
And Nadia hates him for seeing too much.
What begins as suspicion turns into something far more dangerous, stolen glances, sharp arguments, unbearable tension neither of them can escape. Because the closer Zachary gets to exposing her secrets, the closer he gets to the woman she tried so hard to bury.
In a world ruled by billionaires, politics, and ambition, love is the most dangerous weakness of all.
How do you destroy someone who already erased herself to survive?
And what happens when the only person capable of ruining Zachary Rigg... is the woman he cannot stop wanting?
