Zina Walker, the unloved daughter of a wealthy mogul, is used as the ultimate payment to settle her father's massive debts. She is forced into a "collateral marriage" with Valerius Thorne, a man who is a perfect son and a brilliant businessman, but a wall of ice to the woman he was forced to buy. Valerius accepts Zina only to satisfy his father and provide a mother for his young child, but he vows never to give her his affection. As they navigate a high-stakes life between London and New York, Zina must survive a home where she is treated as a guest in her own marriage. However, as Zina's quiet strength begins to penetrate Valerius's defenses, the "cold" husband finds himself falling for the one woman he promised to never love. In a house full of Thorne family secrets, they must decide if their marriage is a prison sentence or the only thing worth saving.

They call them Anomalies. Superpowered individuals feared as disasters waiting to happen. To the powerless majority, Anomalies are ticking time bombs. To governments and corporations, they are assets to be controlled... or erased. So humanity fights back-developing technology capable of suppressing their abilities. The world calls it protection. Anomalies call it a leash. As fear hardens into pride, tensions rise. Alliances fracture. And the line between survival and extinction begins to blur. At the center of it all is Nolan-a quiet, haunted young man whose powers defy understanding, even his own. Marked by the world he never asked to threaten, Nolan is forced into a future he never wanted. Because this war isn't about good versus evil. It's about belief versus fear. Mercy versus control. The world doesn't need a hero. It needs Him.
