THE TWELVE MILLION CLAIM

When her family’s catastrophic debt comes due, twenty-four-year-old Liora Kane is sold to Cassian Voss — the ruthless thirty-three-year-old billionaire who agrees to erase the twelve million dollars in exchange for one year of complete ownership. Forced into a marriage contract that strips her of nearly every right, Liora fights back with sharp words and colder silence. Cassian, still scarred by a past betrayal, intends to collect far more than her body; he wants her surrender. But every power play, every charged confrontation, and every night of forced proximity tightens a far more dangerous bond than either of them planned. In a game where control is the only currency, the debt that bound them may become the one thing neither can escape.
