An overlooked heiress is traded into a proxy marriage with a comatose billionaire, sparking a war between the concealed heir who guarded her and the groom's empire.
Iris has spent a lifetime unseen inside her own Manhattan dynasty, dismissed in favor of a favored sister and a father's mistress. She once mistook her bodyguard's silent vigilance for affection, never knowing he was a hidden heir whose loyalty belonged to her sibling. When the family arranges a proxy marriage to a billionaire colonel lying unconscious, they expect Iris to vanish quietly. Instead, the arrangement pulls her into the center of a merciless contest: the bodyguard who always served another and the comatose groom's influential network both scramble to claim her. The men who once erased her now wage war for the woman they threw away, but the betrayal that defined her life cannot be undone.
