Conditions of Betrayal

Cordelia Sinclair is untouchable-an Upper East Side heiress with a reputation icy enough to keep the world at arm's length. Even her own parents see her as a headline, not a daughter. Alone and quietly unraveling, she doesn't expect therapy to change anything.

Then she meets Carson.

Carson is calm where her world is chaos. He listens when no one else ever has. And somewhere between guarded silences and late-night confessions, something dangerous begins to grow-trust.

What Cordelia doesn't know is that Carson walked into their first session with a plan.

As lines blur between patient and protector, manipulation and connection, both of them must confront the truth: are they healing each other... or destroying each other slowly? And when trust is built on a lie, can love survive it?
