Everyone's got something to hide. Evelyn just buried hers six feet under.
Bertram had money. Status. A sharp tongue and a mean right hook. But what he didn't have was Evelyn's love - not anymore. Not since Ellington walked in, all smoke and muscle, and reminded her what it felt like to be wanted without being owned.
Now Bertram's dead, and Evelyn's on the run with a man who'd burn the world down to keep her safe. A train ticket, a fake name, and a suitcase full of guilt - that's all they've got between them and the past.
But peace doesn't come easy for people like them.
Not when the nightmares are still fresh.
Not when someone out there knows the truth.
They thought escaping was the hard part.
Turns out, the real danger starts when the lies stop working.

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
