Ten years in prison could not erase Adrian Vale’s name—but it did force him into hiding after Celestine and Lucien’s cruel setup over a fatal bridge collapse. Seeking peace in a small town, he was found again and dragged back into the wreckage of his old life. Left at death’s edge in a river, he survived thanks to Yvonne, his childhood friend. With the truth exposed, Adrian walks away from the past and into a quieter future beside her.
