They were supposed to give him their daughter, but instead, they gave him Nora—the girl no one would choose, the one no one would fight for. What was meant to be a temporary solution becomes something far more dangerous the moment she is taken into Ethan Roth’s world, a place where people are not protected, only assessed for their value. ‎Forced to live under a false identity, Nora quickly realizes that survival will require more than silence. In a house built on control, suspicion, and quiet violence, she learns to observe, adapt, and make herself useful in ways no one expects. ‎But the more she proves her worth, the more attention she draws—and in a world like his, attention is never safe. As Ethan begins to see her as more than just a debt, the truth about who she really is becomes a threat that could destroy everything. ‎Because when that truth is finally exposed, it won’t just cost Nora her place in his world. ‎It will make him realize he was deceived—and Ethan Roth is not a man who forgives betrayal.
