Synopsis
On the day of her husband's funeral, Elena Vane discovers that her lavish life was a lie built on debt, and she is moments away from eviction. Her salvation comes in the form of Silas Thorne, the terrifying, estranged brother of her late husband, who reveals he has purchased her debts and the estate. He offers her a deal: she can keep her home, but she must live with him as his ward for one year. As Silas's dark obsession begins to suffocate and seduce her, Elena uncovers a deception that shatters her past and proves that the man she thought she loved was never the man she married.
