On her wedding day at the opulent Marquis Hotel, Elara Voss has already accepted her fate: she married wealthy Daniel Ashworth to clear her father’s six-million-dollar debt to dangerous men, their union nothing more than a cold transaction that makes her his trophy wife. But nothing in the brutal deal prepared her for the shocking betrayal she catches mid-reception: Daniel’s hand sliding between her own sister’s thighs, right under the head table. Elara hides her volcanic rage behind a perfect porcelain smile for three hundred unsuspecting guests, but when she returns to the grand crystal-chandeliered ballroom, she finds an unblinking gaze fixed on her: Damian Wolfe, the feared underground power half the city’s elite owe their fear to, invited by Daniel for supposed business. He has not taken his eyes off Elara all night, and Elara is about to step into a dangerous game no one ever warned her about.
