Chantel Anders has always done whatever it took to survive. Raised in poverty with no help from anyone, she clawed her way toward a better life, determined to put herself through school and become someone her younger self could be proud of. But the world has never been kind to girls like Chantel-especially those who fight too hard or dream too big.

Most people don't know what she's done to get this far. Some would judge her, others would say she did what she had to. But everything changes one fateful night when she crosses paths with a man whose presence is as chilling as it is magnetic. He's powerful, dangerous, and completely uninterested in letting her slip away.

Now, caught in the orbit of a man who seems to see straight through her defenses, Chantel must fight not only for her future-but for her freedom. Because once you're seen by a man like him, escape is no longer an option.
