Taken in as a ward of the Calvert family, Eva has always loved Declan Calvert, the boy who grew up as her protector. Nonverbal since birth, she struggles to express her feelings in a marriage built on duty—Declan only married her to honor his grandfather’s dying wish. Trapped in a toxic union, Eva endures Declan’s cruelty and his mistress Selene’s relentless schemes to drive her out. Despite it all, Eva clings to the hope that Declan might rediscover the love they once shared as children. Bound by silence, Eva must decide: fight for his heart or break free before it’s too late.
