Nathaniel built his empire at twenty-three.
Breaking every chain his family and traditions forced upon him, he created a life of his own. Wealth, power, influence-he has everything the world desires.
Yet none of it is what he is searching for.
Every night, he walks the streets looking for her.
The girl he made a promise to when he was ten.
But time has passed.
Years have changed everything.
Will she still be his?
Will he ever find her?
Will she even remember the promise?
And when fate finally traps them together, escape becomes impossible-
Because the only way out is to uncover the secrets they both carry.
Their past holds the key.
But the truth may change everything.
