Erin Hernandez has never known the truth of where she came from. Raised in a quiet Italian village by a woman she believed was her mother, her life has always been simple-filled with warm streets, good books, and unanswered questions. But she never imagined those questions would lead her to France's most powerful family.
As a baby, Erin was lost-vanished without a trace from a lavish Paris estate during a fire that shook the Deveraux family to its core. Presumed dead, she became a whispered tragedy in a bloodline obsessed with legacy.
But two decades later, a DNA test and a forgotten letter unlock the truth: Erin Hernandez is Elena Deveraux, the only daughter of French billionaire Alphonse Deveraux. Now, the girl who grew up with nothing is suddenly heir to an empire.
Whisked away into a life of luxury she never asked for, Erin is caught between duty and discomfort-between a powerful family who want to use her, and a world that now watches her every move.
So she runs.
Back in Italy, under a new name and identity, Erin hides in plain sight-until she meets Namjoon, a down-to-earth bookseller with ink on his hands and no idea who she really is. With him, Erin doesn't feel like an heiress. She feels seen.
But her secret can't stay buried forever.
As reporters close in and the Deveraux family sends people to reclaim her, Erin must choose: return to the life that was stolen from her-or protect the quiet love she's found with a boy who never cared about her last name.
