Ava Sinclair is a beautiful, hardworking woman stuck in a loveless marriage with a man who once promised her the world but now treats her like an afterthought. Her husband, Bryan, is a selfish, neglectful man who squanders their limited money, leaving Ava to carry the weight of their struggles alone.
Working as a personal assistant at an elite hotel, Ava hides her unhappiness behind elegance and grace. She's resigned herself to a life of quiet disappointment — until the night she crosses paths with Damian Cross.
Damian, a cold and intimidating billionaire known for his sharp mind and ruthless aura, is used to women throwing themselves at his feet. He's never been interested in anyone — until Ava. There's something about her sadness, dignity, and quiet strength that haunts him.
Unaware of Ava's marital status at first, Damian becomes captivated by her. And though Ava fights the attraction, she can't deny the way her heart reacts in his presence.
The tension escalates when Ava's reputation is threatened by jealous elites and whispers of impropriety. As Damian steps in to shield her from high society's venomous games, his obsession deepens — even when he discovers she belongs to another man.
Ava must choose between loyalty to a husband who's never loved her and risking everything for a man who could change her world forever.
