Two years have passed since Lera released her sharp, candid diary, in which she told—without embellishment—everything that happened to her in Dubai’s hidden, backstage side. It seemed that the past had finally let her go, that all the dots had been connected, and that this story had long settled under dust—but fate throws Lera back into contact with exactly what she was trying to escape.
The news of her mother’s death forces her, against her will, to return to the city she was desperately trying to erase from her memory. Suddenly becoming a wealthy heiress, Lera receives not only property and a clinic, but something far more unexpected: in her life appears Sergey—her mother’s common-law husband.
Struggling between temptation and moral boundaries, Lera can’t withstand the pull of attraction. And then, someone who once destroyed her peace and left her with Stockholm syndrome comes back into her path—and this meeting pushes Lera once again toward a dangerous line.
