Locked Terms

Evelyn Vance stands on the precipice of ruin. To save her fatherâ€s architectural firm from liquidation, she signs a Faustian bargain with Julian Thorne, the ruthless titan of Manhattan real estate. The terms are simple: one year as his lawful wife to secure his board approval, followed by a quiet divorce and a cleared debt. But Julian is a man composed of sharp angles and colder silences, harboring a vendetta against the Vance family that Evelyn is unaware of. Trapped in a glass penthouse overlooking Central Park, Evelyn discovers that the contract controls her public life, but her heart is beginning to rebel against the fine print. When she unearths the dossier proving Julian orchestrated her father's downfall to force this very marriage, the genre shifts from romance to psychological warfare. In a game where intimacy is a weapon and vulnerability is a breach of contract, who will be the first to default?
