Tobias and Grace never asked for the lives they were forced into-heirs to powerful families, bound by tradition and duty. For Tobias, love was never supposed to be part of the equation, but his heart betrayed him when he fell for Grace, the very woman he was being forced to marry. Grace, caught between her own desires and her family's expectations, battles the weight of being seen as a pawn in a game she never wanted to play.
Their arranged marriage feels like a cage closing in, but together, they find hope in the most dangerous place: with each other. Determined to reclaim their freedom, they devise a daring plan to go through with the wedding, deceiving their families while secretly plotting their escape. Yet, with each passing moment, both must confront the terrifying possibility that their growing love-and their fragile plan-could unravel everything.
