In a world where love is illegal and emotions are regulated by the state, loralai is an elite Enforcer trained to suppress all feeling. Raised by the regime that rose from the ashes of the global Collapse, she has never questioned the laws that keep society stable. To feel is to falter. To love is to betray humanity itself.
But everything changes the day she meets Rory-a black-market memory dealer and member of the underground resistance known as the Secret Lovers. He trades in forbidden emotions: stolen poems, lost photographs, and whispers of what it means to truly feel. His presence awakens something inside Loralai, something dangerous. Something real.
As the regime's grip tightens and Loralai begins to unravel the truth behind the Collapse, she must choose between the order she was taught to protect and the rebellion she never expected to believe in. Torn between duty and desire, silence and sensation, she stands on the edge of a decision that could ignite a revolution or destroy what's left of her.
In a society built on control, what survives when you dare to feel?

She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her - and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future - with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn't choose.

And the only thing more terrifying than being watched... is being needed. This isn't love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession.
