Prince Adrian of Cardenia walked away from the only life he'd ever known a world ruled by duty, deceit, and the heavy crown he never asked to wear. Now living as Adrian Cole, a billionaire tech visionary, he's built his own empire from the ground up. Every line of code, every calculated move, is a wall between him and the past he refuses to face. But when an ambitious journalist crosses that line, the truth he buried starts clawing its way back.
Harper Quinn has made a name exposing men who think they're untouchable. When she lands the story of a lifetime a reclusive billionaire with no traceable history she expects scandal, not connection. Yet under Adrian's cool control, she senses something restless, almost tender. One discovery at a time, she uncovers the man behind the precision the man who feels too much.
As their worlds collide, secrets blur into longing, and trust becomes the rarest currency of all. Now Harper must decide what's worth the cost the truth she's built her career on, or the man she's beginning to believe in.
Can a man who once vanished ever let himself be truly seen?
