“To keep my severely autistic brother from being thrown into a state asylum, my cruel stepfamily forced me into a proxy marriage. I was sold off to Nathaniel, an outcast of the billionaire Montgomery family, signing the registry without ever seeing his face. But my desperate sacrifice wasn't enough. That same day, I accidentally ruined an $80,000 bespoke suit belonging to Alistair Montgomery-the ruthless head of the conglomerate and my new, terrifying brother-in-law. When I collapsed in the freezing rain from a severe fever, I woke up trapped in his sprawling Long Island estate. He tossed a contract onto the bed, demanding I become his 24/7 personal assistant to pay off a fabricated two-million-dollar debt for the damages. If I refused, he promised to personally cut off my brother's medical care. I was completely cornered. He didn't know I was his sister-in-law. He also didn't know I was the mysterious girl who had saved him from a drugged frenzy just nights ago-the girl with the flame birthmark he was currently tearing the city apart to find, while a wealthy fraud had already stolen my identity to claim his protection. I had no money, no power, and no way out. With shaking hands, I signed away my freedom to this tyrant. But I looked him dead in the eye and set my one absolute condition. "I am a married woman, Mr. Montgomery. We maintain a strictly professional boundary. If you cross that line, I will walk out."”
