Ellen was meant to become a villain. The execution, the obsession, the fall—it's already written into her story. Marrying into the Lianster house was supposed to be her escape hatch, a way to rewrite her destiny before the prophecy takes hold. But Aiden, her new husband, is bound by his own prison: a paralyzing fear of being touched that keeps him locked away, even within their marriage.

As Ellen searches for the root of his terror, she begins to offer him what he's been desperately starved of—genuine comfort, patience, affection. And Aiden, desperate for what he's denied himself for so long, slowly reaches back. Two people running from their own destinies find refuge in each other instead. But can a marriage built on escape alone survive when love becomes undeniable?
