She took a shortcut.One look inside an abandoned warehouse changed everything.Now she belongs to a man she never saw clearly… a man who speaks little, watches everything, and gives choices that never feel like choices.Marry him.Or disappear.But living inside his world is worse than she imagined—because somewhere between silence, danger, and stolen moments… she starts forgetting she was never supposed to stay.And when someone from his past returns to reclaim what she believes is hers—the witness may become the one left behind.

She's been in love with him for years. He's been in love with her longer. Neither of them knows it. Maya thought this would be the Christmas she finally told Ethan the truth. Instead, she met his girlfriend. Ethan thought he'd buried his feelings deep enough that no one would notice. Then Vanessa, his girlfriend asked the one question he couldn't answer honestly. Now they're both lying. Both hurting. Both stuck in the same house for three weeks of holiday torture. A mistletoe kiss might fix everything. Or it might ruin them forever?
