What happens when the girl you love is trapped between two brothers-one a dangerous gangster, and the other, a man who is forced to pretend to be him?
Lily Johnson's life has always been a struggle. Raised in a broken home, she never knew the safety of a loving family. Her father's abuse and her mother's broken spirit left her to fend for herself, and school was just another place where she felt invisible. At sixteen, Lily dropped out, worked two jobs, and dreamed of a better life. But everything changed when she met him-Jace Carter.
He was dangerous, mysterious, and everything she thought she wanted. Jace swept her off her feet, and despite her reservations, she fell in love. But when the man she thought she knew disappears and she discovers a secret that could destroy everything, Lily's world is turned upside down. Jace's identical twin brother, Kai, is forced to step in, hiding the truth that could shatter their fragile relationship.
In a whirlwind of love, lies, and betrayal, Lily is swept into a world she never asked for. When secrets are revealed and the truth about Jace's criminal life comes to light, Lily's heart will be broken in more ways than one. But she isn't just going to stay broken.
Six years later, Lily is a mother of twins, building a life for herself in Australia, determined to never look back. But with the return of Jace from prison and the looming threat of the past, Lily must choose between the love she thought she lost and the future she's worked so hard to create. Will she find the strength to rise again, or will the ghosts of the past destroy everything she's built?
