I married the man I believed murdered my brother — so I could kill him myself. When my father fabricates a $100 million debt to the Veyre Syndicate, he trades me to Caelan Veyre, the cold, calculating heir I've hated for years. On our wedding night, I draw a hidden blade. He disarms me before I land the blow, he knew I was armed all along. Instead of killing me, Caelan offers a bargain: play his devoted wife for six months, help him fool a fracturing empire, and walk away with my freedom and my father's debt erased. I take the deal, planning to use it to tear his world down from the inside. But the deeper I go into the Veyre family's secrets, the less certain I am who the real enemy is. Traitors circle from every side, a rival billionaire pulls strings no one can see, and the truth about my brother's death, and my own father, is far worse than anything I imagined. I swore I'd never surrender to the man who ruined my life. Now I have to decide whether to destroy him, or stand beside him when everything comes for us both.
