She was the price of her father’s freedom. He was the monster who wrote the check.
When Amelia Donovan’s father’s empire crumbles overnight, leaving debts, shame, and the threat of prison behind, there’s only one man powerful enough to save them—Andrew Reynolds, the ruthless billionaire CEO with a cold heart and an even colder reputation.
But his help comes with a cruel price: Amelia must become his wife.
Thrown into a gilded cage of wealth and secrets, Amelia struggles to survive her loveless marriage, haunted by the man she once loved and the best friend she trusted with her life.
Until one night, she sneaks into Andrew’s study—and uncovers the first crack in the perfect facade.
A secret deal. A forged signature. And a file that links Andrew to the very destruction of her family.
Now trapped in a web of betrayal and lies, Amelia races to uncover the truth. But when she runs to her best friend for help, she discovers a devastating betrayal: her ex and her best friend have been part of the plan all along.
She was never meant to escape.
She was meant to break.
But Amelia Donovan is done being the bargain.
She’s ready to become the price no one can afford.
