But just when Aria starts to believe in happiness, she's called back to New York-back to the family that broke her. Trapped in an arranged marriage to her childhood bully, Nicolas DeLuca, Aria is faced with an impossible choice: obey her father's wishes or risk everything for the man who saved her.
Betrayal, power, and love collide in this gripping tale of resilience and forbidden romance. Will Aria escape the chains of her past, or will she be forced to sacrifice the one person who truly understands her?
