Emmylene Lantsov built herself from the ashes of a stolen childhood. Cold, brilliant, and untouchable - nothing gets to her. Until the letters start coming. Anonymous. Cryptic. Threatening. And they know things they shouldn't.
Enzo Steele is the elder son of the family- charming, ruthless, and born to inherit his father's empire. He's been trained to eliminate threats... not receive them. But someone's watching him too. And the riddles they leave behind are only getting darker.
When the letters don't stop, Emmylene and Enzo are forced into an uneasy alliance. But the deeper they dig, the more tangled their lives become - because these messages don't just connect them in the present.
They tie them to a past neither of them knows - a secret powerful enough to ruin everything.
And maybe... to destroy them both.
Because the truth isn't just buried - it was never meant to be found.
