Amelia Green grew up too fast.
After her mother's death and her father's descent into abuse, she became everything at once—protector, provider, survivor. Not just for herself, but for her younger brother.
Oxford wasn't a dream. It was her escape plan. And she earned it.
But just when life begins to open—when she's finally ready to breathe, to earn, to live on her own terms—Damien enters.
Not loudly. Not suddenly.
But like someone who has always been there… watching.
Controlled. Calculated. Intentional.
And for the first time in her life, Amelia faces something she cannot simply endure her way through.
