That is the exact price of Elowen Vane’s freedom.​When the Vane family empire collapses under a massive fraud investigation, Elowen's world is dismantled piece by piece. Her assets are frozen, her status is wiped out, and her father faces a twenty-year prison sentence. Out of options and backed into a corner, she is forced to step into the penthouse office of Julian Crowne—the cold, devastatingly handsome, and untouchable prosecutor who holds her family's fate in his hands.​But Julian doesn't want restitution. He wants absolute leverage.​He offers a simple, terrifying deal: sign a private settlement, and the evidence against her father vanishes. The catch? The contract demands Elowen's exclusive availability. For the duration of the term, she belongs entirely to the Crowne estate. She must live under his roof, wear what he selects, and submit to his every private requirement.​Elowen enters the gilded cage hating the man who trapped her. But as the psychological games intensify behind closed doors, a dark, forbidden spark flares between them. She realizes the dangerous truth: she is entirely captivated by the devil himself, and she might not ever want to escape.​Character Profiles​The Heroine: Elowen VaneProud, sharp, and fiercely loyal to her family. She tries to maintain her dignity and defiance even when stripped of her wealth.

He doesn't play by the rules; he makes them. He treats everything like a game of strategy, but his growing, possessive obsession with Elowen quickly becomes the one variable he didn't account for.
