"You were made to be ruined, Sophie. And I'll be the man to do it-with patience... or without."
· 𖥸 ·

Sophie Maddox is the embodiment of innocence-delicate, obedient, and untouched by the outside world. At just nineteen, she's spent her life hidden behind silk curtains and garden walls, raised under the strict rule of a powerful but crumbling family who taught her to be seen, not heard. With honey-blonde hair, doll-like gray-blue eyes, and a voice as soft as a whisper, Sophie has never disobeyed an order, never spoken to a man without permission, and certainly never known the kind of hunger that simmers behind the eyes of
Liam Voss-the man she's been forced to marry.

Liam, a thirty-two-year-old billionaire with a brutal past and a reputation that sends men running, is the definition of control. Ruthless in business and terrifying in presence, he's used to having everything his way-until Sophie. He didn't want love. He didn't want softness. What he wanted was an heir, a contract fulfilled, and a wife who would never question his authority. But Sophie's quiet submission awakens something possessive and feral inside him, something darker than dominance-a need to claim her in ways no contract could bind. She was given to him. Trained to obey. But the more he touches her, the more he realizes: breaking her might be the only way to keep her.
