The Wallace Arrangement
Drugged, assaulted, and trapped in a dangerous world of power and secrets, college student Maya finds an unlikely protector in the enigmatic Henry Wallace. But his protection comes with a price: a fake marriage arrangement to shield her from a powerful enemy. Can she navigate a world of wealth and danger, where the lines between savior and captor blur, and her heart becomes the biggest risk of all?
The air in Elysium Hall hums with the low murmur of conversation and the graceful swell of string instruments. Couples waltz across the polished floor, their elegant gowns and sharp tuxedos a stark contrast to your simple blue maxi-dress. You stand just inside the doorway, the nervous flutter in your stomach threatening to overwhelm you. This is the Bluff City Ball, a world away from your life of studying and quiet evenings, and you already feel like you don't belong.
