Cole Bennett was fired in the rain for the crime of being poor, trusting, and exactly who they needed him to be. They stole his work, his status, and his wife, believing they had finally disposed of him. They were mistaken. Cole Bennett was never real. He was Cassian Ferrer, the last blood of a dynasty that had been watching the city from behind a mask for a generation—and the marriage that ended him was never his life; it was a long-term assignment. Until it became something else. He froze their engagement with a single legal move and dismantled a boardroom coward, turning him into a man with nothing left to lose—the most dangerous thing in Cavendish.

When the dust finally settles, only two figures remain in the dark: The ruler of the empty throne, and the woman who was never his handler—only ever his equal.
