Genre: Romance, Hidden Identity, Revenge, Found Family, Betrayal

Brenna Barrett, a quiet and gifted young woman, has spent the last two decades living in the shadows of the wealthy Barrett family—adopted not out of love, but as a substitute for their missing biological daughter, Isabella. Though taken in at age two, Brenna was never truly treated as part of the family. She grew up in near-servitude, wearing secondhand clothes and surviving on scraps, all while secretly fueling the Barrett family's rise to wealth with her exceptional talent for automotive design.

Everything changes when Isabella, the long-lost daughter, is found and brought back. The Barretts waste no time casting Brenna aside. Alec Barrett, the manipulative adoptive father, offers her a meager envelope of money and fake concern, pretending to care as he urges her to leave quietly. But Brenna is no longer the naïve child they raised to be obedient. Cold and composed, she refuses their charity and walks away with dignity.

Unknown to Brenna, Isabella slips a valuable jade bracelet—and possibly something more sinister—into her bag before she leaves. Moments later, the household is thrown into chaos when a priceless engagement necklace, a gift from Isabella’s fiancé, is reported missing.

Isabella’s farewell gesture may not be as kind as it seems, and Brenna finds herself framed for theft at the very moment she tries to leave the life that never truly belonged to her.

But Brenna isn't broken. She's rising—from mistreated orphan to a woman ready to reclaim her identity, confront the past, and perhaps even discover the truth about her real family. With nothing left to lose, the shadows that once kept her hidden may just become her greatest weapon.
