Elara Beaumont was once a beauty queen, crowned under dazzling lights with a future full of promise.
Now, she serves coffee in a small-town diner, her dreams fading with every clattering plate. When Jason Mercer, a figure from her glittering past, offers a shadowy escape-wealth, power, and a chance to reclaim her former glory-Elara sees a lifeline. But as she steps into a world of hidden agendas, dangerous alliances, and moral compromises, the cost of ambition becomes a deadly gamble.
From diner booths to rain-soaked alleys, Elara's journey unfolds as a suspenseful battle between the woman she was and the one she dares to become-where every choice could be her crown or her undoing.
