He came for revenge. He stayed for her.
Ten years ago, the elite Thorne family destroyed Silas Vane’s life. They stole his father's legacy, ruined his name, and cast Silas out into the streets to rot.
They thought he was gone forever. They were wrong.

Clara Thorne is the perfect socialite daughter, poised to sacrifice herself by marrying a repulsive older man just to save her family from bankruptcy. She is innocent, obedient, and desperately trying to hold her crumbling world together.
Until Silas Vane walks into her father's office and buys their entire mountain of debt.
He doesn't want their money. He wants their most valuable remaining asset.
He wants Clara.
Taken as "collateral" and locked in Silas’s cold glass penthouse high
