A broken heart can kill, but it's really the secrets that take you down.

Alexander Rockingham once had everything. All-consuming love from two lovers, a bright future ahead of him, connections and contacts. But death has a way of sneaking inside and stealing futures when it's least expected.

After his beloved Charles died alone inside his family's mansion, and Rebecca, their fragile submissive, disappeared behind its tall gates, Alexander was locked out, and left destitute and alone.

Now decades later, wealthy beyond compare, he's given a chance to dismantle the cruel empire that once stole everything from them.

As his plans unfold, he didn't expect to find Rebecca again—and he certainly didn't expect to fall back in love with her. But only when a third joins them—Eric, a man who has pined for Alexander from afar for years—do they finally lay the ghosts of the past to rest.

Or at least until Rebecca's forty-year secret comes out and threatens to tear it all apart.
