Untangle a lost decade and protect her new daughter from past mistakes.
Eighteen turns into twenty-eight in a heartbeat after a manhole swallows a vow to never wed Linus Montgomery. The protagonist surfaces as the spouse of New York's most feared Don, staring down a six-year-old daughter and the wreckage of a missing decade. Her younger self drained the family fortune and chose a manipulator over the dangerous man now sleeping beside her. Armed with hindsight, she moves to shield her child, purge the parasites circling the empire, and earn the loyalty of the husband she once betrayed. A buzzing phone signals the first real test.
