She fell for two men at the same time and lost them both. Now her sisters need her to fix that. The family's grip on power is slipping, and there is only one way to shore it up: go back to Gaeton and Beast and accept their terms. Gaeton runs on charm and casual cruelty. Beast runs on desire and a readiness for violence. They despise each other. They both want her. The deal is simple and brutal. The three of them together, long enough for her to pick one man and commit. No extensions, no exceptions. She agrees because her family comes first, always, even when the cost is this high. Her mother is gone, lost to cancer, and the grief sits underneath everything. What she thought she understood about herself, about what she wants, gets harder to hold onto the longer she spends inside this arrangement. Power is the priority. Happily ever after is a luxury she has never let herself plan for. She is starting to wonder if that was the right call.
