She believed she was cutting off dead weight. He was only hiding the weight of the world. Selene Carter thought her divorce from Edmond Welder would free her from shame, scandal, and a ruined reputation. What she didn’t know was that her ex-convict husband was not broken, he was bound. Bound by secrets, by missions that forced him into silence, and by a loyalty far greater than his own freedom. Now, as Edmond walks back into the world, not as a prisoner, but as a decorated 7-Star General, betrayals rise from the very family Selene sacrificed him for, and enemies stalk him in the shadows. Caught between two women, a collapsing empire, and the scars of his own heart, Edmond faces the hardest choice of all: live as the disgraced man everyone mocks, or rise as the protector only Selene now realizes she can’t live without. Love. Loyalty. Power. Revenge. The lines blur in this high-stakes tale of shattered trusts, buried truths, and the man who refuses to stay forgotten.
