"Trapped in a deal she never wanted. Bound to a man she despises."
Vivian Everlet had dreams—dreams of finishing her PhD, traveling the world, and living life on her own terms. But when her father’s debts become too heavy to bear, she’s forced into the arms of Julian Andrews—a ruthless politician, a billionaire, and the son of a notorious mafia leader.
Their marriage is nothing more than a contract, a cruel transaction where she is the price. Julian is cold, controlling, and merciless. But beneath his brutal exterior lies a past shrouded in pain, a side of him no one has ever seen.
As Vivian fights against his dominance, she begins to uncover the man behind the monster. Hatred turns to understanding, defiance to desire. But when betrayal, bloodshed, and secrets threaten to consume them both, she must decide—will she escape his grip, or has the devil already claimed her heart?
Enemies by fate. Lovers by destiny. But can love survive in a world built on power and revenge?
