Bea McCabe is a master of reinvention—beautiful, strategic, and ruthlessly focused on escaping the chaos of her upbringing. When she targets Collin Case, an heir to a powerful old-money dynasty, she believes she’s finally found the ultimate safety net: marriage, wealth, and a future that can’t be taken from her.
But the Cases aren’t eager to welcome an outsider, and Collin’s lifelong “best friend,” heiress Gale Wallace-Leicester, is openly hostile. As Bea pushes toward engagement, Gale pushes back—testing Bea’s story, probing for weak spots, and weaponizing every social ritual. The closer Bea gets to the altar, the more the past she’s buried threatens to surface, turning a calculated con into a dangerous spiral where the cost of being discovered might be everything.
