The Bride He Bought At Midnight

At midnight, Nadia Rahman is taken beneath New York's most exclusive hotel and presented to the Black Table in a wedding dress she never chose. The Midnight Society calls her a bride. Nadia knows she is being sold. Cassian Vale enters the auction without a mask and buys her before his brother can claim her. Cold, powerful, and dangerously controlled, Cassian says marriage is the only thing keeping her out of Society custody.
Nadia believes only one thing: if Cassian thinks buying her makes her his, he has bought the wrong bride. Then Julian Vale is found murdered in a bridal suite. The weapon, the timing, the staged evidence, and Nadia's own stolen fingerprint all point to her. To survive, she must remain beside the man who bought her, uncover what her missing mother stole from the Society, and expose a dynasty that has turned women into contracts for generations.
Cassian may be her shield. He may be another cage. But Nadia has her mother's key, a dead groom's secret, and a name no one gets to take from her.
