When Elara Quinn, a desperate art student drowning in her late father's debts, signs a marriage contract with reclusive billionaire Sebastian Crowe, she believes she's trading one year of her life for financial freedom.
What she doesn't know is that Sebastian didn't choose her for convenience.
He chose her because her name appears in his sealed criminal files.
Sebastian Crowe is a billionaire by day and a man rumored to have built his empire on blood, silence, and disappeared enemies. He needs a wife to secure a political-business merger that will make him untouchable. Elara needs money to survive. The contract is airtight: one year of marriage, no love, no questions, public perfection, private distance. Her body is hers, but her life belongs to him.
As bullets fly, blood spills, and secrets unravel, desire turns violent and devotion turns obsessive. Elara must decide whether to expose the monster she married or become powerful enough to stand beside him.
Because the most horrifying part isn't that Sebastian Crowe is dangerous. It's that she's starting to want him anyway.
