She saved his life. She claimed his soul. After a fire destroys everything he loved, architect Arthur Badgley survives only because Clara pulled him from the flames. Now broken, medicated, and haunted by grief, Arthur depends on her for breath, movement—memory itself. Clara is his nurse, his lover, his reason for living. And she reminds him of that every day. But devotion turns suffocating when love demands obedience. As Arthur struggles to reclaim his body and his past, unsettling truths begin to surface. Medications don’t feel right. Doors are locked when he’s weakest. His memories of the fire don’t match the story Clara tells him. And when a relentless arson detective starts asking questions, Clara’s tenderness sharpens into something possessive… and volatile. Because Clara didn’t just fall in love with Arthur. She chose him. She shaped his survival. She curated his dependence. And if Arthur ever tries to leave—if he reaches for the truth—Clara is willing to burn everything down to keep him. Including him.
