As a world-class psychiatrist, Seraphina Vance spent a whole year developing a cure for the man she loved—Julian Sterling, the powerful heir of Southampton’s greatest fortune suffering from a rare personality disorder. But when she returns, she finds her place taken by another woman who has rewritten Julian’s memories. The man who once promised to protect her now views her as a greedy social climber, subjecting her to unimaginable cruelty. From the cold shadows of an asylum to the tragic loss of her only family, Seraphina’s heart finally turns to ice. "Julian, I don’t want you anymore." On the eve of his grand wedding, she chooses a watery grave to bury her love forever. But as the truth unfurls, will Julian survive the realization of what—and who—he has truly destroyed?

On their wedding anniversary, Adeline caught her husband, Dominic, in bed with the girl she had been sponsoring. Instead of an apology, Dominic handed her a divorce decree with a cold smile: "Sign it, Addie. It's just to coax the girl." Little did he know, Adeline was carrying his child. Driven to despair by his cruelty and betrayal, she chose to fake her own end and vanish. Years later, when they met again, she was someone else's bride, and the once-arrogant billionaire fell to his knees, begging for a second chance.

And he's willing to set the world on fire to do it, starting by turning my deceitful love into a real… and fatal addiction.
