In a world where rules are written in blood and love is a dangerous game, Blair must fight for her survival and sanity. But in a battle between the heart and a binding contract, who will emerge unscathed?
Blair thought she had hit rock bottom when she dropped out of law school to care for her ailing mother, juggling three grueling jobs just to survive. But when a mysterious, wealthy stranger makes an impossible offer to erase her debts and restore her future, she is thrust into a shadowy world where power, secrets, and deadly alliances reign supreme.
On the surface, Liam De Thourotte is the embodiment of control: ruthless, untouchable, a member of the elite Ghost society—a clandestine order of powerful operatives bound by a centuries-old code of secrecy and violence. He has never wanted a wife, let alone a partner like Blair, someone so far removed from his dark, uncompromising world.
But when the Ghost demands a bride, and Blair's fierce independence clashes with Liam's cold detachment, sparks fly. Thrown into a deadly game of manipulation and power, Blair must navigate a treacherous path where trust is a luxury, and love could be fatal. As she delves deeper into Liam’s world, she uncovers a labyrinth of lies and blood-stained legacies, forcing her to question her own desires and the true price of freedom.
In a universe where women are considered tools and love is a weakness, Blair and Liam must decide whether to succumb to the shadows that bind them or defy their fates and seize a destiny all their own. Can Blair survive the Ghost, or will she become its next casualty?
Prepare for a gripping tale of power, passion, and betrayal, where nothing is as it seems, and every choice could be the last.
