“Faye was brought back from the countryside by her father, not out of love, but to be a sacrificial lamb. Her stepmother demanded she take her younger sister's place to marry Julian Sinclair, a billionaire heir paralyzed in a crash and notorious for his cruel temper. When Faye refused, her stepmother threatened to fabricate scandalous evidence about Faye's late grandmother-the only person who had ever loved her. Forced into the marriage, Faye was sent to the oppressive Sinclair estate with nothing but a shabby duffel bag. She immediately faced blatant hostility from Julian's arrogant sister and scheming cousins, who mocked her origins and treated her like dirt. When Faye prepared a traditional herbal paste to treat Julian, the entire family ambushed her, surrounding her to accuse her of being a backwoods fraud trying to poison the crippled heir. They all thought she was just a meek, helpless pawn meant to suffer in a gilded cage. They didn't realize she had already deduced Julian was actually paralyzed by a rare neurotoxin, nor did they know she was secretly a master healer searching for the truth behind her grandmother's murder. "I trust her." Julian shocked his family by tasting the vile paste himself, suddenly gasping as a burning sensation flared in his dead legs for the first time in three years. Faye adjusted her black-framed glasses, hiding a chilling smile. It was time to use the Sinclair empire to hunt down her enemies.”
