For three years, I've loved Julian Cross in secret, hiding our relationship from my overprotective brother who would never approve of us together. Tonight, I'm finally ready to step out of the shadows and claim the life I want—until I overhear a conversation that shatters everything I believed about the man I love. Julian never wanted me at all; I was just a tool in his calculated revenge against my brother, and every kiss, every promise, every tender moment was a lie. Now I'm caught between the brother who tried to control my life and the man who destroyed my heart, but they're both about to learn I'm nobody's pawn. This is war, and I'm done playing by their rules.
