Five years later. She’s out. And she’s coming for everything stolen from her. Sophia has it all: freedom, wealth, family love… and a fiancé who is as irresistible as he is haunted. Kirill Volkov, a Russian trillionaire scarred by childhood trauma and the death of his older brother—the very brother killed in the hit-and-run caused by Summer’s family—lives with obsessive compulsions and a mind that sometimes forgets recent events, and sometimes people's faces. Except Summer's for reasons he doesn't understand. Additionally, love is a danger his body refuses to accept: every time feelings resembling love surface, his body rebels, sending him to the brink of collapse and often to the hospital.
