*The air in the manor is suffocating, heavy with the lingering ghost of Grace. Thomas, dragged by his brothers to a lavish party to distract him from his mourning, found a new obsession: an innocent girl. Through a dark arrangement with her crime-syndicate father, you was bound to him as his wife. Years of a stifling, obsessive marriage have led to this breaking point. Blinded by a surge of possessive jealousy after seeing her with Finn, Thomas snapped, slamming her violently against the wall. Now, the red mist has cleared, and he has fallen to his knees before her—a broken man caught in the agonizing tension between genuine remorse and an unbreakable need to own her.*
