Debt by blood

Her father's sins became her inheritance. When Lucian Blackwood claims her as payment for a debt she never owed, an aspiring author finds her life stolen by the cold, ruthless billionaire. Forced into a marriage born of vengeance, she becomes a prisoner in his glittering penthouse-a gilded cage where every breath is a reminder that her body is his property, but her soul remains her last battleground.

As wedding preparations become a cruel pantomime, she discovers a terrible truth: the man who once showed kindness is now a monster shaped by her family's past. But when lies become her only protection and despair her constant companion, a dangerous question emerges. Can she survive long enough to escape, or will she become the final casualty in a war of revenge that began before she was born? In this high-stakes game of control and survival, the ultimate payment may be more than blood-it may be her very will to live.
