the billionaire's ultimatum

Elara Quinn has spent the past year scraping together what’s left of her life after her sister Celine’s mysterious accident left her in a coma. When billionaire Caelum Blackthorn offers Elara a deal—marry him for one year in exchange for the truth about what happened—she thinks it’s manipulation.



Until a note signed “CB” appears on her sister’s hospital bed.



Thrust into a world of power games, surveillance, and secrets buried under corporate empires, Elara enters a glass cage of control, lies, and dark attraction. As she starts unraveling the truth, she discovers her sister wasn’t a victim—she was a player in a deadly trial that started long before Elara entered the game.



And the deeper she goes, the more Elara realizes: the only way out... is through him.
