Avery Kincaid had everything until her family's scandal burned it all down. Now she pours drinks under a false name in a quiet coastal town, trying to disappear into the sound of waves and clinking glasses. No one here knows who she was, and that's how she wants it.
Then Cole Arden walks in one rainy night, a billionaire chasing silence instead of headlines. He's not looking for company, but the woman behind the bar draws him in. There's something in her steady gaze, something she's hiding. And when she smiles, he can't seem to stay away.
She senses the danger beneath his charm, the kind that wrecks more than hearts. Still, every night he returns, and every wall she's built begins to crack.
As truth creeps closer and old ghosts stir, love becomes both a refuge and a risk.
When the past finds them again, will she trust him with the story she's run from or lose herself all over again?

Each book in the Bound by Wealth series explores a different kind of power financial, emotional, or moral and how even the most dominant hearts must eventually bow to love.
They built their lives on ambition and power, chasing what the world called success. But behind every fortune lies a price no one talks about. In places where glass towers touch the clouds and private jets blur the horizon, five billionaires learn that control can't buy peace and desire can ruin even the strongest plans. From boardrooms to secluded shores, where loyalty is tested and secrets never stay buried, each must face the same truth: the heart is the only empire that won't be conquered.
