“Kailangan ko ng asawa, and I know you are the good fit…” Vivienne Crosswell never imagined marrying for anything but love, but desperation forces her into a deal with Dominic Sterling—the cold, ruthless heir to a powerful empire. He needs a wife. She needs money. It’s just business… until emotions get in the way. Their fiery clashes spark an undeniable attraction, but when Dominic offers her a way out by signing his contract, Vivienne shocks him by walking away. But her past is dangerous, and when a vengeful man kidnaps her, Dominic will stop at nothing to bring her back—even if it means shedding blood. What started as a contract is now a battle for love, survival, and freedom. But is it real… or just another cage?

Tagos sa kasalanan. Lunod sa tukso. Trixie Manalastas thought she had it all figured out—loyal assistant by day, quiet and composed by night. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang mapilitan siyang tumira sa iisang bubong kasama ng lalaking bawal niyang pagnasaan—ang brother-in-law niyang si Lance Dominic "Dom" Arriola. Tall, brooding, at laging naka-sando na parang kasalanan ang bawat muscle, si Dominic ang tipo ng lalaking tinitingnan mo lang dapat… pero hindi mo dapat hinahangaan. Lalo na’t kapatid siya ng fiancé mo. Pero paano kung sa bawat titig niya ay may banta ng tukso? Sa bawat sulyap, parang hinuhubaran ka na? Sa bawat gabing tahimik, may mga ungol na gustong kumawala? At paano kung isang gabing walang kuryente, sa ilalim ng init ng dilim, hindi mo na mapigilan ang sarili mo—at ang kasalanan ay hindi lang basta nangyari, kundi sinadya? This is not your typical love story. This is a tale of temptation, guilt, and a kind of pleasure na bawal pero hindi mo maitatangging gusto mo. Because sometimes… the one who ruins you, is the one you crave the most.
