Skylar Delgado has lived her whole life in a gilded cage-her father's empire built on power, her fiancé's love twisted into control. Behind the mansion walls, bruises bloom, secrets fester, and freedom feels like nothing more than a dream.
Then comes Colton Briggs-the man hired to protect her. Hardened by a brutal past and scars he can't forget, he never expected to find a reason to fight again. But in Skylar's defiance, in her fragile hope, he finds something worth protecting-something worth risking everything for.
As betrayal sharpens into violence and the world she knows burns around her, Skylar must choose: stay trapped in a life built on lies, or risk everything for the dangerous man who makes her feel alive.
Love, loss, revenge, and redemption collide in a story where survival means breaking chains, facing the past, and daring to believe in a future that feels impossible.
After everything was stripped away, Skylar discovers that home isn't a place-it's the person willing to fight beside you.
