She was the perfect daughter.
Until she met her stepmother.
Abi Taylor knows how to play her part.
Smile. Obey. Survive.
Because her stepfather demands nothing less.
He controls everything—her money, her future… and the men she’s forced to please to keep his empire running.
Then Emma arrives. His fiancée.
Beautiful. Composed. Untouchable.
A glance becomes a spark.
A spark becomes obsession.
And suddenly, Abi is questioning everything—her loyalty, her past… even who she is.
But desire is dangerous in a house built on secrets.
Because behind closed doors, her stepfather’s world is darker than she ever imagined—
twisted deals, brutal punishments, and a game where people are nothing more than pawns.
And when Abi discovers his deepest, darkestsecret, she realises just how far he’ll go to keep her.
Now there’s only one way out…. to run!
But escaping him won’t be easy. He’s always one step ahead.
And he won’t stop…not until he destroys them both.
