Introduction

My life as Jocelyn Fuller, the oil heiress, ended the day my father went to prison and my sister Molly fell gravely ill, leaving me desperate.

My ex-fiancé, Ethan Scott, a DC power player, promised Molly the best medical care money could buy if I agreed to a "deal."

That deal turned into a nightmare: I was sold to Caleb Duncan, a ruthless West Texas rancher, becoming his captive and plaything, suffering unimaginable abuse and even a miscarriage.

After three years, Ethan reappeared, claiming Molly was alive and well, offering me freedom and a new life.

But I knew his game. I was done being a pawn in their brutal power struggles.

So, I jumped off a cliff, faked my death, and became Stella, a ghost hidden away in a small Colorado mountain town, vowing to live free.

Then, one by one, they showed up; first Caleb, then Ethan, both determined to drag me back into their twisted worlds.

But I wasn't Jocelyn anymore. I was Stella, and this time, I was fighting back.
