PHOENIX BOUND

Emerald Peterson thought marriage to billionaire Dan Cross would save her from financial ruin. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a cold, controlling contract where every move requires permission — even sleep. Isolated in Dan's lavish but eerie mansion, Emerald stumbles upon a hidden room stained with blood and chains, uncovering a dark secret beneath the family's glittering facade. Her only solace comes from an unlikely source: Tyson Cross, Dan's estranged half-brother. Unlike Dan, Tyson offers warmth and understanding, and soon their stolen moments ignite a forbidden passion. But when Emerald discovers she's pregnant, the stakes skyrocket — because she doesn't know which brother is the father. As tensions boil over, Emerald walks in on a chilling scene which might destroyed everything she has worked for.
