As Laura hunts the people who destroyed her—starting with the man who set her ablaze—she must navigate a web of manipulation, stalking, and family betrayal. Old enemies wear smiling faces, new threats lurk in every shadow, and someone knows she’s an imposter. In a deadly game of revenge and desire, Laura will become everything Mia was and more. But when the real Mia returns and the ultimate betrayal is revealed, surviving her new life may cost her everything—including the heart she swore never to give. In a world where fortune is power and love is the ultimate weapon, one woman will rise from the ashes… and burn them all.
