He tortures her by day and cannot sleep unless she's breathing in the next room.
He'll burn the world to keep her. Starting with her.Niamh Kelly wakes in a hospital bed with a wedding ring she doesn't recognize and a man at her side who tells her she is his wife. She remembers everything else. Her mother. The cottage on the Delaney estate. The kitchens where she grew up, the gardens, the ordinary life of a housekeeper's daughter. Twenty-two years, perfectly intact.
Everything except him.
Alexander Delaney is heir to a name that empties rooms across Dublin. Beautiful, controlled, and monstrously patient. He tells her there was an accident. He tells her she belongs to him. He does not tell her what she did and neither will anyone else in the vast house he brings her to.
The staff will not meet her eyes. The doors are locked. Something happened here three years ago, and every soul under that roof knows the shape of it but her.
Her husband hates her. He says so plainly, without heat, the way other men state their names, every day, without effort, the way humans breathe. He has promised her a reckoning, and promised to enjoy it, and he intends to be standing in front of her when her memory finally hands back the truth.
But hatred is not the only thing in the room when he looks at her.
He cannot be near her without unravelling. He tortures her by day and cannot sleep unless she's breathing in the next room. He wants her with a violence that terrifies her and every time he reaches for her, he punishes her for it afterwards.
Because loving her once already cost Alexander Delaney everything.
And Niamh who cannot remember loving him, who has every reason to run, who hates him for what he does to her- wants him anyway. She thinks if she can just remember, she can fix what she broke and he doesn't tell her the truth that would end them both.
