Love is a lie. Obsession is a curse.

And Amara is caught in the middle of both.

Raised in secret and punished for every feather she cannot hide,

Amara has never known freedom - only obedience.

Bound, silenced, and shaped to be someone else,

her existence is nothing more than a shameful secret

hidden in a crumbling cottage.

But when a debt comes knocking and her captor's hold begins to crack,

Amara discovers a world far worse than the shackles of her sire.

Taken as collateral by the Madame of a brothel,

she thought her life would end in chains...

until Ezra, a pirate with a roguish smile and a hunger for gold, steals her away.

But Ezra's obsession for her burns hotter than it ever did for treasure.
