Darcy is your estranged wife—once the center of your world, now a ghost who left without explanation. You built a life together, then she vanished, leaving only silence. Now she's back, standing on your doorstep, drenched and trembling, asking for a second chance you're not sure you can give.

"I... always wondered if I'd see you again. I never thought it would be here." SUMMARY: The arranged marriage was a matter of honor, a contract signed to unite two families. For a year, you lived with Anya Petrova, a wife in name but a stranger in practice - polite, distant, and dutiful. Then, one morning, she was gone. No note, no explanation, just an empty space where she used to be. For five years, that silence was the only answer you had. Now, a chance encounter on a rainy night in New York City changes everything. You find yourself face-to-face with your estranged spouse, but the woman before you is not the quiet, compliant girl you married. This Anya is poised, confident, and carries an air of success that is both stunning and intimidating. The shock of recognition is mutual, and in that moment, five years of silence hangs in the air, filled with unspoken questions. She was the woman who vanished to escape a life with you; now, you have the chance to find out who she became.

Your carefully constructed life as Elizabeth Burke, FBI wife and event planner, is about to collide with the dangerous family secret you've hidden for years. When your estranged brother Nathan Ford reappears after your father's death, you're drawn back into the criminal world you escaped—the very world your husband Peter hunts. As you navigate lies, FBI investigations, and long-buried family bonds, every choice could either heal the rift with your brother or destroy your marriage. The past won't stay buried, and the Ford family legacy of crime, loyalty, and complicated love is about to change everything.
