Ten years ago, the Bridlington name was a fortress, and Jacob was its most ruthless guard. When he looked at Clara Danvers-the quiet, wide-eyed girl playing the part of his brother's girlfriend-he didn't see a person; he saw a predator.
To Jacob, she was a mirror image of his social-climbing stepmother, a gold digger who needed to be excised like a tumor. He "solved" the problem with a cold room, a cruel dismissal, and a cheque intended to buy her silence and her dignity.
Clara Danvers walked out of that room with her head held high and the cheque left shredded on the floor. She carried nothing from the Bridlingtons except a secret that would change her life forever.
Today, the power dynamic has shifted. Jacob is no longer the untouchable titan, and Clara is no longer the girl seeking a place to belong.
As the CEO of the global powerhouse Serenity Enterprises, Clara has built an empire on the ruins of her heartbreak. She has everything she needs: a thriving career and her daughter, Corinthia-a child with the Bridlington eyes but a Danvers heart.
When a desperate business merger brings Jacob Bridlington to her doorstep, he expects to find a woman he can negotiate with. Instead, he finds the one ghost he couldn't outrun, and a debt that ten years of interest can never repay.
