Simon took a step back. “I’ll take a blood test if that makes you feel any better. I’ll prove that I’m Lucien’s heir.”

It was then the honeymoon haze shattered. “I don’t know who the hell you think you are, but you are not my brother. And you’re not an heir to anything in New

There’s something dangerous about Vaughn.

The more I try to stay away, the more I’m drawn into his web of lies and deception.

I’m so tangled in him, there’s no way out.

Is loving a man like him worth risking everything,

Including my family and the country I call home?

Or do I walk away from the secrets?

Put him behind me and pretend he’s not the greatest love I’ll ever know?

Because loving him means accepting a new identity.

A new life.

And saying goodbye to everything I thought I would become.
