For three years, Carol Bright was Edward Dawson's secretary and stepsister by day, and his secret lover by night. To him, she was just a game—disposable, forgettable, never meant to be loved.
When Edward announces his engagement to someone else, he expects drama. Instead, Carol disappears from his life without a word.
Now, she's no longer his. She's the heiress of the powerful Bright family—admired, untouchable, and far beyond his reach.
Then he sees her with another man. She slips behind closed doors. The lights go out—and she never returns.
That's when Edward realizes he's made the biggest mistake of his life.
The woman he once thought he owned is now the one he can never have again.
