Caged Hearts

"Tangled Vows"

Lily Scott never imagined her life would be reduced to a contract. But when her father forces her into a marriage with Elliot Kane - the cold, powerful heir to a business empire - she becomes trapped in a gilded cage of promises and expectations.

Elliot is a man who doesn't believe in love, a man who views their marriage as nothing more than a strategic alliance. But beneath his icy exterior lies a fire she's both terrified of and irresistibly drawn to.

As the days pass in their lavish mansion, tension builds. A forced connection quickly spirals into something darker - and more dangerous. With every word he speaks, every touch, and every glance, Elliot tightens the invisible chains around her heart.

But Lily isn't the obedient wife he expected. As their animosity turns into obsession and desire, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about herself... and him.

In a marriage where passion and power collide, can they find love in the wreckage of their broken vows?
