In 1926 New Orleans, penniless Nora Holloway is forced to replace her vain sister in a mercenary marriage to Adrian Whitmore, a shipping heir crippled by a supposed dock accident. The deal pays five years’ care for her institutionalized mother, trapped by her cruel stepfamily’s lies.
Yet Adrian hides a secret: he can walk, feigning disability to uncover his brother Julian’s betrayal. Bound by shared vengeance, the two uneasy allies dig into buried truths—smuggling at Warehouse Six, a tainted doctor’s fake medical records, and Nora’s grandfather’s suspicious death.
As dark plots, family abuse and deadly threats close in, their transactional bond blooms into fierce, loyal love. Together, they’ll expose every corrupt elite who stole their families’ lives and justice.
