When ruthless billionaire Lucien Voss, known for burying enemies and secrets alike, offers a marriage contract instead of a bullet, Evelyn Moreau doesn't have a choice. Her family's debt is drowning them, and Lucien's protection comes at the cost of her freedom. But as she's thrust into his cold, opulent world of power plays, whispered threats, and haunted pasts, Evelyn discovers her husband is not just feared-he's broken. And he expects her to play the perfect wife while hiding the monster he truly is.
But monsters don't stay buried forever.
Trapped in a marriage forged by desperation, Evelyn must learn how to survive a man who owns her on paper-but wants to possess her soul. What begins as a cold-blooded transaction turns into something far more dangerous: obsession, betrayal, and a love so dark it could ruin them both.
This isn't a love story. It's a war. (18+ smut will be included girlies 😛)
