To the world, Elias Cross is the perfect man - Manhattan's most eligible bachelor, heir to the Cross Hotels empire, and a lover who makes promises whispered against fevered skin. But to Willow Hart, the woman he secretly married under the cloak of midnight vows, he's a man built on lies.

For three years, Willow has lived in Elias's shadow, her heart battling between the ecstasy of his touch and the emptiness of his secrets. She was willing to ignore the warning signs, until a woman from his past reemerges, claiming more than just his heart - she wants his legacy, his name... and his lies exposed.

As the walls of their passionate, turbulent marriage begin to crack, Willow faces a choice: fight for a love drenched in deception, or walk away before the truth destroys her completely. But what if the biggest secret of all is the one she's keeping?

In a world where betrayal wears a tailored suit and heartbreak feels like silk sheets against bare skin, can love to survive when the lies run deeper than the vows?

Everything about Elijah that was worth loving walked out the door of his apartment with Madeline, leaving him little more than a shell of a man. No amount of booze or destruction could erase the love he felt for that woman. That sweet, brutal, all too brief love slashed through his insides and left him damaged beyond repair. They say time heals all wounds, and in some ways, it did. Four years after his M&M walked away, Elijah has his life on track. The scars were still on his heart and skin, but this was as close to living for something other than her as he'd ever get. Then the call comes. That punch to the gut, time stopping call that could send him right back into the hole that'd taken him two years to climb out of. Hearing about her engagement was one thing. It hurt, but knowing she'd found happiness after all the heartache gave him some measure of hope for himself. But this? This could be his salvation or his end. *Mentions of suicide and drug and alcohol addiction.

All I have to do is keep my distance, survive the charade, and send Cyrus a cut of the profits. But, everything changes when I finally meet the man. Turns out, my enemy is the same anonymous stranger I spent one reckless, unforgettable night with. Now he's not just the man I'm forced to marry. He's the man I can't stop thinking about...A constant reminder of the one night I came alive. This war for diamonds might just fail before it even starts.
