Liana Vale never believed she’d be forced into marriage not in this century, not in this city. But in her world, love is a luxury. Power is the only language spoken. When her father arranged a marriage to billionaire investor Gabriel King, Liana is told it’s just business. A merger. A headline. A move to secure legacy. She doesn’t expect a choice, and she’s spent her life not expecting much at all. Gabriel agrees for one reason, access. Marrying into the Vale family means controlling the biggest media platform in the country. But, the quiet woman in front of him isn’t what he expected. She doesn’t play the game the way her father does. She doesn’t try to charm or seduce or smile for the cameras. She just… watches. And when she speaks, her words cut deeper than she knows. What starts as distance turned into tension. And what begins as a contract slowly becomes something harder to walk away from. But power comes with a price. Secrets rise. The past knocks on their door. And when everything Liana has buried starts to surface, she has to choose: stay silent like she always has or finally speak the truth, even if it burns everything down.
