“She was taken because she was useful. She stayed because leaving became impossible. She fell because control rewired her survival. Elara Vale never believed power could feel intimate-until Rowan Ashcroft made her his. Trapped inside the world of a man who owns everything he touches, Elara fights for autonomy while navigating rules she never agreed to. Rowan is cold, calculating, and ruthless-but beneath his control lies an obsession he refuses to name.

In a relationship built on power, protection, and psychological warfare, love is no longer a choice- it's a consequence.”
