Liliana Hill spent years perfecting the art of obedience—Graceful, well-mannered and Sheltered. She lived in a cage built by tradition, control, and quiet suffering. Pretending was second nature—until she met him.
Nolan Alchys, he thrives in control—ruthless in the shadows, untouchable in the light. He never plays games he can't win.

"Careful," she warned, voice barely above whisper. "I ruin people."
He chuckled, leaning in. "Darling, I don't break that easily."

But in a world where power dictates fate, freedom comes at a price. And for Liliana, the cost might be everything.
