From the back cover

Three years ago, Jane's fiancé Caleb Preston publicly broke off their engagement for Harper Stone, the scholarship student Jane had sponsored. Overnight she became the laughingstock of their social circle. But her family held a war council that night: retreat abroad, rebuild the narrative, and return as the unattainable one.

Now Jane is back, and her family's Chen Group quietly overshadows Caleb's Preston Corp. At her welcome-back party, Caleb and Harper appear. Jane greets them graciously, and her friends deliberately isolate Harper. On the balcony, Caleb asks how she has been; Jane answers with easy warmth, and the old tension seems to dissolve.

Yet Caleb begins calling often, drawn back by old memories and old habits, while Harper grows more anxious. Jane watches it all with a calm smile, certain the coming months will be very interesting.
