She gave him everything. Her heart, her patience, and every last ounce of faith. He gave her cruel agreements.
Grace Carter was the maid's daughter. Quiet, brilliant, and invisible in the world of the powerful Knight family. But when Eleanor Knight's will unexpectedly named her, a carefully arranged marriage was set in motion. Killian and his mother, Catalia, saw it as a solution to protect the family legacy.
What was meant to secure their inheritance became Grace's slow undoing. Silenced, belittled, and worked to the bone while carrying his child, she was bound by an agreement that forced her to disappear before she gave birth.
Five months later, Killian finds her again. Struggling, exhausted, and still impossible to forget.
But this time, she is no longer the girl who loved him.
She is the woman who learned to live without him.
Now Killian wants back what he never protected.
And Grace wants to survive him all over again.
