JUST ONE MORE GLANCE

Born into a house where cruelty was routine and obedience was demanded, **Amane** has spent her entire life under the iron rule of her tyrannical father. To him, she was not a daughter, but a tool-someone to command, to control, to break. Her world is small, suffocating, and carved from silence and fear.

That world changes the day **General Akira**, a decorated yet enigmatic officer of the Japanese army, steps across her father's threshold. Behind his measured gaze, he sees what others ignore-the bruises concealed, the spirit restrained, the life quietly collapsing.

In one decisive moment, he claims her freedom... but freedom with Akira is not simple.

Drawn into his shadowed orbit, Amane enters a life filled with dangerous secrets, unspoken desires, and a man whose kindness is as unsettling as his darkness. As she moves from captivity into a new, unfamiliar kind of possession, Amane must confront the most terrifying question of all:

**Has she escaped a monster... or walked into the arms of another?**

A story of trauma, power, and the razor-thin line between salvation and obsession, this dark romance thriller explores how love can bloom in the unlikeliest-and most perilous-places.
