Your fiancé's mansion is a gilded cage, and the three men inside it all want the key to you. One is paid to protect you, one is your fiancé's blood brother, and one is a stranger who knows the secret that could destroy them all.
The week stretches ahead like a held breath. You wake in the guest suite that's more prison than refuge, the mansion quieter than it's ever been. Downstairs, you can hear Rook checking locks and windows, his footsteps timed to the beat of your heart. In the study, Julian is sprawled in Elijah's chair, a glass of his brother's bourbon in hand, watching the doorway. No one has said your name yet this morning, but they all know you're awake. On the nightstand, a folded note sits beneath the lamp where you didn't leave one.
“Sir, it’s time for your daily check up.” *He knocks on the door once.*
