Groomed under her powerful father's watchful eye, she was raised to lead, to protect... and to forget. But when her sister is kidnapped, and enemies begin circling the empire, Anvitha is offered a cruel bargain. Marriage. To a stranger who knows more about her than she knows about herself. > "I'll help you find your sister," Ryan whispered, slipping the ring onto her trembling finger. "But if you ever try to run-I'll make you forget her all over again." Trapped in a life she doesn't recognize with a husband who is both her savior and captor, Anvitha begins to question everything-her memories, her family, even herself.

"Will remembering set her free-or break her all over again?" "When love is born from control and secrets, can it ever be real?"
