I was supposed to bow. I chose to break them instead."​As an unranked commoner at Saint Jude’s Academy, I was invisible. Until a forced magic awakening branded me with the Quad-Bond—fating me to the academy’s four most dangerous royal princes: a ruthless vampire, a feral alpha, a dark demon, and a master warlock.​They expected submission. They expected possession.​I rejected them.​Shattered bonds carry deadly consequences. Driven wild by my refusal, the four princes hunted me down to force my compliance—until they realized I would rather bleed out than lose my autonomy. Now, the royals have changed their game, attempting to win me over instead of breaking me.​But my refusal brought worse enemies into the light.

"My name is Mia Carter,” she insisted, her voice trembling. He stepped closer, dark eyes burning with dangerous intensity. “No. I could never confuse you with anyone in this world, Elena.” Three years ago, powerful billionaire Adrian Blackwood watched his beloved wife’s car plunge into a raging river. With no body recovered, he buried an empty coffin and locked his broken heart behind an impenetrable wall of ice and corporate power. Today, Mia Carter is just a quiet waitress with no memory of her past. Waking up in a hospital three years ago with total amnesia, her only world is a humble job and the protective "grandmother" who raised her from the ashes. Mia’s golden rule is simple: keep your head down and stay invisible. Until the night Adrian Blackwood walks into her restaurant—and stops breathing. One look at her face, her scar, and the silver keyhole pendant around her neck, and Adrian knows the truth: His dead wife is standing right in front of him. But Mia doesn't remember the wedding vows, the empire, or the man staring at her like a starving beast. Worse still, someone spent three years meticulously erasing her identity, weaving a web of lethal lies to keep her from remembering who she truly is. Determined to reclaim his lost love, Adrian forces Mia into a high-stakes 30-day contract as his personal assistant. But as dormant memories begin to spark and hidden enemies move in for the kill, Mia must answer the ultimate question: Can she trust the ruthless billionaire who claims her as his wife—or was he the reason she went missing in the first place?
