Some secrets are too heavy to carry. Some hearts are too stubborn to fall.
Kayla Charlotte Bowen has spent her life carefully guarding her past, staying out of the spotlight, and keeping her world tightly controlled. But when unexpected changes threaten everything she's built, she's forced to confront the life she's been running from.
The last thing she needs is Andrew Beckett-cocky, insufferable, and far too charming for his own good-stirring up trouble. They've clashed from the moment they met, their rivalry fueled by sharp words and lingering stares. But when circumstances push them together, Kayla starts to realize there's more to Andrew than the arrogant facade he wears so well.
Yet, Andrew's world is tangled with secrets of its own. His father's empire is built on power plays and whispers of corruption-the very thing Kayla refuses to be part of. As the lines between rivalry and something more blur, Kayla faces a choice: walk away before she gets too close or risk losing herself in a game she never wanted to play.
Some crowns are invisible. Some battles are fought with hearts. And some secrets refuse to stay buried.
