Kaliyah’s life has been a relentless nightmare since birth. Her world spiraled into chaos the day her mother was murdered by her father—a man consumed by violence and vice. Left alone to endure his abuse, Kaliyah survived 23 years of torment, her resilience the only thing keeping her from succumbing to despair.  

But her father’s cruelty knew no bounds. After losing a reckless gamble to a powerful billionaire, he sold Kaliyah to save his own life. When she was informed of the deal with cold indifference, she wasn’t surprised. She’d always known he would discard her one day.  

Her only hope now rested on the stranger who’d bought her. Could he be any worse than the father who had tormented her for years?  

Cian Donovan, a billionaire whose heart has long been encased in ice. Emotionless and detached, he views people as transactions, not companions. Love is a concept he neither believes in nor desires.

But Cian didn’t account for Kaliyah’s quiet strength or the light she carries despite her broken past. As she begins to chip away at his walls, emotions he’s spent a lifetime suppressing start to surface.  

Just when they begin to bridge the distance between them, a devastating secret comes to light—a revelation that threatens to destroy everything they’ve built.  

Will Kaliyah and Cian find the strength to overcome the darkness of their pasts? Or will the truth tear them apart forever?  

This is a gripping story of pain, resilience, and the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds.
