Rising from the Shadows

"I gave Mathieu Duval my heart and my father’s millions, while Marie Vasseur took my secrets and his bed. They thought I was the naive heiress they could play for a fool among the glittering villas of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, but they forgot one thing: I control the fortune that keeps them relevant. A rainy night and a shattered windshield took the old Élise away, but the woman who emerged doesn't seek closure—she seeks justice. With my childhood protector Xavier by my side and my family's legacy as my weapon, I’m going to show Mathieu and Marie exactly what happens when you try to bury the woman who owns the ground you stand on."
