Trapped in a cold and loveless marriage, Yasmin’s life revolves around obeying Cole Martinez, a man who owns her in every way but the heart. Five years of his contempt, his mother’s scorn, and the humiliation of his public affair have left her broken—but not beyond hope. When a positive pregnancy test shatters her carefully controlled world, Yasmin faces the impossible: hiding the child Cole never wanted or risking his wrath. Torn between her growing courage and his unrelenting control, she begins to imagine a future beyond his grasp. But in Cole’s ruthless world, freedom has a price, and defiance is dangerous. Can Yasmin find the strength to break free, or will her secret tie her forever to the man who refuses to love her?
