Fragile Selena flees her wedding. Kaelan, her intended, finds her and offers a deal.
Selena Velt, imprisoned by a fragile respiratory condition and her father's control, flees her arranged marriage to the formidable Kaelan Drayven. She finds freedom in Milan, working in a record shop and tasting a life she never thought possible. But her freedom is short-lived. Her father's hunters find her, and in her moment of flight, she is intercepted by Kaelan himself. He reveals a startling truth: he has known her whereabouts for months, allowing her this taste of freedom. Now, with her father closing in, he presents a pact. He needs her family name for his political ambitions. In return, he offers her a gilded cage with unparalleled freedom—no public duties, no forced life. She can live as she wishes, in secret. The alternative is to be dragged back by her father, with no concessions at all. Facing this impossible choice, Selena realizes Kaelan is not the simple tyrant she believed, but a dangerous enigma whose offer may be her only path to a life of her own.
Kaelan Drayven is control. A powerful, strategic man who sees marriage as an alliance. He allows no emotion in his calculated life. Yet Selena disrupts his order. Her fragile courage challenges him. Her spirit brings chaos to his plans. Though cold, he's drawn to her defiance. For the first time, his armor cracks. Emotion threatens his control because of her.
I will get straight to the point. I need this marriage: the rank, the prestige of your family, and everything that comes with it. In exchange, I offer you complete freedom. You will not be obliged to appear in public as my wife, nor will you be bound by my decisions or my events. You may live as you wish.
He lowered his gaze slightly, his tone becoming more serious.
Of course, you may also refuse my proposal and continue to run… but there is a risk: if your father’s men find you, you would be forced to marry me anyway, without the privileges I am offering now. But now… now you have the chance to choose.
