He was born with nothing—yet burdened with everything.

When Mason's father dies a martyr, his mother, Charlotte, raises him in crushing poverty, sacrificing her youth and health to give him a future. Her sudden death leaves him alone, armed only with her final letters and a vow to honor her dream.

Beside him stand two sisters: Sarah, the steadfast healer whose quiet devotion hides a storm of unspoken love, and Claire, the dazzling dreamer who craves fame as much as she craves him. Between them burns a rivalry that threatens to consume his heart.

But love is not Mason's only battle. From betrayal by those he trusts to the shadow of Logan, a ruthless rival who covets everything Mason holds dear, his journey is scarred by loss, jealousy, and violence. Even as success and love glimmer on the horizon, destiny strikes again—with memory lost, a fatal illness revealed, and the woman he loves forced to choose between sacrifice and survival.
