Maren Bellamy doesn’t remember marrying a billionaire, but Adrian Montgomery swears she’s his wife—and he’ll never let her go.

After her late shift, Maren wakes up on a secluded island in a mansion that feels more like a prison. The doors are locked and the windows sealed. And every time she fights him, his hands teach her that desire feels dangerously close to surrender.

Adrian Montgomery doesn’t doubt himself. He is absolutely certain the woman he brought home is the wife who vanished from his life. Losing her again isn’t an option.

Maybe she’s his wife, or maybe just the perfect replacement for the woman he lost. Either way, she’s trapped in a story she never agreed to.

Frannie Marks knows better than to want her professor, but Callum Sinclair makes wanting him feel like the only honest thing she has left.

After one failed Ethics of Power assignment, Frannie walks into his office hours looking for answers and leaves with an extra credit opportunity she can’t refuse. She tells herself it’s just research, the only way to protect the future she has fought for.

Callum teaches power for a living. He knows how easily it can bend a mind, shape a choice, and turn resistance into need.

Soon, the line between power and pleasure disappears. Wanting him costs Frannie more than a grade, and walking away stops feeling possible for them both.
