In a futuristic galaxy ruled by corporations and alliances, Betty, a brilliant 28-year-old diplomat's daughter, is forced into an arranged marriage with the most feared and desirable man in the solar empire-Brat Kael Jones, the ruthless billionaire CEO of Jones Galactic Enterprises. Cold, possessive, and commanding, Brat is a playboy with a dark past and a reputation for treating his conquests like property. The marriage is a political move, but to Brat, it's personal. He's wanted Betty since the moment he saw her-and now, she's his. Betty enters the marriage determined to resist him. She won't be another slave to his empire. But what begins as a legal contract quickly becomes a battle of power and desire. Brat's obsession grows, consuming her space, her freedom-and her mind. Yet beneath his cruel dominance lies a tortured soul, one that only Betty begins to uncover. As secrets unfold, Betty discovers Brat is involved in underground AI trafficking, using forbidden tech to control markets and people. When she threatens to expose him, he gives her a choice: leave and risk war between their families-or stay, and rule the empire beside him.
