Adeline has lost every loved one and learned to swallow endless heartache silently. Orphaned young and raised by her grandma, her life is filled with constant sorrow.
She thought Alistair was her true love, yet he destroyed her utterly: he cheated, married another woman, and let his family abuse her cruelly.
Pregnant, betrayed and shattered, Adeline flees with nothing, clinging to a slim chance of a new life. A random bus ride leads her to Gideon Lancaster, a reclusive billionaire blinded by a tragic accident. Sharp-tongued and hot-tempered, he pushes everyone away.
But Adeline’s pain forged unshakable inner strength. Angry, lonely and haunted by his own trauma, Gideon cannot help falling for the woman who refuses to pity him.
