For twenty-two years, Amelia Qinn has known only hardship. After losing her parents at a young age, she was taken in by relatives who treated her less like family and more like a servant. She cooks, cleans, and works tirelessly while dreaming of a life beyond the walls that confine her. When her relatives become buried in debt, they make a desperate arrangement with Xavier Knight, one of the youngest and most powerful billionaires in the country. Cold, reserved, and feared in the business world, Xavier agrees to help them—but at a price. Amelia is sent to work at his vast estate under a strict contract. Expecting another life of misery, Amelia is surprised to find that while Xavier is demanding and distant, he is nothing like the monsters she has known before. As they spend more time together, an unexpected connection forms between them. Behind Xavier’s wealth and success lies a painful past he keeps hidden from the world. And behind Amelia’s quiet resilience is a strength that slowly captivates him. As love begins to bloom, enemies from Xavier’s past threaten everything they have built together. Amelia must choose whether to trust the billionaire who changed her life or walk away before she loses her heart completely.
