Light Vainglory wanted nothing more than freedom from her responsibilities, her status, her rank, her family... and most of all, from her mother. All her life, she had been groomed to be the perfect daughter, the perfect woman, the perfect wife. Yet, no matter her achievements, she remained nothing more than a shadow of her mother's glory.
Exhausted by a life dictated by expectations, Light made a dangerous deal with the most powerful figure in the underworld, the dark world of illegal dealings and ruthless ambition. Lucas Hallowgrave sought something in return: her name, her influence, her status as the sole heir of House Vainglory.
Light married Lucas, who was twice her age. In exchange, he gave her what she longed for most a life free from rules, free from obligations, a life where she could finally breathe.
It was in this newfound freedom that she met Kieth Garcia, a simple man whose love felt effortless and real. He saw her not as an heiress, not as a shadow, but simply as Vale Flores.
But peace is complicated. Can she find happiness with Kieth when she is already bound by marriage?
Can she risk everything for the possibility of love and freedom?
Or must she accept the price of the life she chose?
