He owns the cage. She learns how to break it from the inside.
Anya Sokolov signs away her autonomy for one reason: escape.
Caleb Romero's contract offers everything she needs. Money. Luxury. A timeline to disappear. The rules are clear. The surveillance is constant. The control is absolute.
It should be simple.
Until Anya finds proof that another woman tied to Caleb's world vanished without a trace.
The deeper she digs, the tighter his grip becomes. Locked wings. Monitored calls. Biometric doors. Every answer comes with a new restriction. Every step toward the truth pulls her further inside the system she was trying to escape.
But Caleb is not the only danger.
Someone else is watching. Someone who will not allow the past to surface. And when the violence finally reaches her, Anya is forced to confront the truth behind Caleb's control.
Because protection can look like possession.
And the man who owns her contract might be the only thing keeping her alive.
What began as a calculated agreement becomes a war of secrets, leverage, and survival. By the time the truth surfaces, freedom may cost more than she is willing to pay.
Dark. Obsessive. Addictive.
Perfect for readers who love:
-Ruthless Billionaire Heroes-Forced Proximity and Control Dynamics
-Hidden Secrets and Missing Women
-Slow-Burn Tension with High Stakes
-Danger that Feels Real
