No More Lingering Love

To the world, Elena Harper is the miracle of the Blackwell estate—a resilient survivor of a brutal kidnapping and the cherished wife of the powerful Marcus Blackwell. Within the gilded walls of their Bel Air mansion, Marcus dotes on her with a desperate, obsessive devotion, swearing to protect her from the cruel whispers of a family that views her trauma as a stain on their legacy. But then, the medicine keeping her daughter alive vanishes, her sister’s sympathy turns into a calculated play for her husband’s bed, and Elena realizes that Marcus’s protection isn't a sanctuary—it’s a cage built from the bricks of his own guilt. The man who claims to worship her is the same man who let her break, and as the Blackwells move to silence her forever, they will discover that a woman who has already survived hell doesn't fear the fire; she brings it with her.
