Life was perfect, until past mistakes resurfaced, hungry for vengeance. Now, all eyes are on the prey, ready to strike. River. Innocent, beautiful, free-spirited-but she's about to lose her freedom. A business deal gone terribly wrong puts the Anderson family at the mercy of a powerful enemy. Their only escape? Sacrifice the one thing they hold dearest-River. Forced into an arranged marriage with the vengeful, ruthless billionaire Davian Reid, River becomes a pawn in a much darker game than she realizes. Her father's debt is just the surface of a deeper betrayal that shattered Davian's life, and now, he's determined to settle the score. Given one year to finish college before she's bound to him, River's once carefree spirit is slowly crushed by her looming fate-until she meets an unexpected light in the darkness. Conrad. A fast rising basketball star who transfers to her college for his final year. In the rush of campus life, they fall madly in love, and for the first time, River dares to hope for a future of her own making. But fate has other plans-Conrad is none other than Davian's younger step brother, and the rivalry between them runs deeper than she could ever imagine. Both step brothers hold her captive in their own way: one for love, the other for revenge. As the pressure mounts, River must decide-will she choose the love that sets her free, or the family duty that binds her? Can love truly free her, or will she be forever bound by her family's sins? And when a devastating secret is uncovered, threatening to tear everything apart, will River's love survive the storm-or will she lose everything she holds dear?
