Description：
Chloe Sterling should have been welcomed home. Instead, the wealthy family that finally takes back their biological daughter treats her like a mistake they can barely tolerate.
While the graceful Lillian Sterling still holds the Sterlings' love, trust, and protection, Chloe is blamed, doubted, and humiliated at every turn. Even Lillian's former fiancé looks down on her. When the pressure becomes unbearable, Chloe does the one thing no one expects—she walks away.
Alone in London, Chloe starts over from scratch. At a foreign design academy, in a small garden cottage, and with only her own talent to rely on, she begins building a life that has nothing to do with the family that rejected her. What she finds there is more than freedom: a warm home next door, a future in fashion, and Ethan Hart—a man whose quiet loyalty makes it dangerously easy to believe in love again.
But the past is not finished with her. As Chloe's name begins to rise and old secrets resurface, the family that cast her aside starts looking for the daughter they never truly saw. This time, Chloe must decide whether blood is enough to mend betrayal—or whether some doors are better left closed forever.
