"You're mine, Elora. Whether you like it or not, you're already mine." Elora Hayes has never had an easy life. Raised by an aunt who sees her as little more than a burden, she has learned to survive on very little while holding on to one dream: becoming an actress. Westchester Academy is supposed to be her fresh start. A chance to escape her miserable circumstances and finally build something of her own. Then Adrian De Luca happens. Young, devastatingly handsome, and dangerously powerful, Adrian is the kind of man people admire from a distance. As a successful CEO, he has money, influence, and everything most people spend their lives chasing. So why would a man like him pay Elora's school fees and arrange her flight to California? She barely knows him, yet he acts as though her life is his responsibility. He makes decisions without asking, expects obedience without explanation, and watches her with an intensity that leaves her wondering whether she should run from him or demand answers. The worst part? Something about him feels strangely familiar. When Adrian announces their relationship to the world, Elora finds herself trapped in a situation she never agreed to. Suddenly, she is the subject of gossip, the target of jealousy, and the girl everyone wants to know about. But behind Adrian's carefully controlled world lies a truth Elora isn't prepared to face. Her past is not what she remembers. And the man who seems determined to keep her close may know far more about her than he is willing to admit. As attraction grows into something neither can easily control, Elora must decide whether she can trust the man who has turned her world upside down. Because Adrian De Luca doesn't like losing. And when it comes to Elora, he might be willing to risk everything. Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Some hearts are impossible to protect. And some sins are far too tempting to resist.
