Summary
One night, Aria St. Claire is the untouchable princess of New York’s elite. The next, her father is arrested for fraud, her fiancé abandons her, her friends turn their backs on her, and the empire she inherited crumbles overnight.
With nowhere left to run, Aria finds herself at the mercy of the last man she ever expected to see again.
Five years ago, she humiliated Silas Vane in front of New York’s most powerful families. Now, the once-overlooked outsider has returned as a billionaire kingmaker with enough power to destroy everything she loves.
And he wants only one thing in return.
Her.
Silas offers Aria a brutal bargain: become his wife for one year, and he’ll save her father from prison. Refuse, and he’ll watch the St. Claire name burn to the ground.
Trapped in a marriage built on revenge, surrounded by secrets, lies, and dangerous attraction, Aria soon discovers that the man she thought she hated may be hiding wounds as deep as her own.
But when vengeance turns into obsession and hatred begins to feel dangerously like desire, one question remains:
Is Silas Vane her captor… or the only man who can save her?
A sizzling billionaire romance packed with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, revenge, betrayal, and a possessive hero who never forgot the girl who broke his heart.
