They mocked him. Betrayed him, and left him to die. Now he wears a mask to hide the scars from the past. Steven Hale was once a poor, broken student—bullied, humiliated, and beaten down by life. Until tragedy revealed a shocking truth: he’s the missing heir to the powerful Hale empire. But this isn’t a Cinderella story. It’s a payback. Reborn as Sinclair Hale, the mysterious billionaire CEO, he returns to Avalon City with one mission: revenge. And nothing—not even a contract fiancée chosen to subdue him—will stand in his way. But then there’s April Dawn—his sweet, clumsy personal assistant who wasn’t supposed to matter. With her loyalty, and unexpected courage, she begins to see the man behind the mask… the man Steven no longer believes he can be. When old enemies rise and betrayal hits too close, Sinclair must choose to either cling to the darkness that made him… or fight for the love he never saw coming. What will he do? Will his mission to seek revenge stand? Will he choose love over everything?
