Longing for peace in Isla de Vista, Amber is dragged back to the city when her father demands she marry a rich, dumb man to secure their business. But the moment she meets Elijah Buenavista-the "dummy" her father mocks-she realizes he's hiding secrets her family never saw coming.
***
Isla de Vista's peaceful shoreline seemed to free Amber Paige Valencia from her father's demands. Yet peace never lasts. After being summoned back to the city, she is forced into an arranged marriage with a Buenavista, Elijah Luis, whom everyone calls a dumb heir.
Amber anticipates a dummy. Instead, she meets a handsome, commanding man who's far too self-assured to be the dumb man her father mocks. And once the vows are spoken, the truth begins to unravel.
Elijah Luis Buenavista is no simple rich boy. He is the youngest general in history, a strategist who battled in secret and planned their marriage for reasons only he knows.
Will Amber embrace his deadly secrets or will loving him put her in greater danger than she thought?
