Description: Sophie Bennett has spent years making herself indispensable to Adrian Sterling. She covers for him, completes his assignments, carries his love letters, and follows him from an elite academy to an Ivy League university. Adrian is reckless, privileged, and heir to one of the most powerful families in their world. Sophie knows exactly how unequal their lives are, but staying close to him has always seemed worth the price. Even when Adrian falls for Claire Ellis, the brilliant transfer student who earned her place among the elite, Sophie remains at his side. Claire rejects him and leaves for Britain, while Sophie crosses the Atlantic with Adrian. Far from home, years of devotion finally become a secret relationship. For a while, having him behind closed doors feels like enough. Then Claire arrives in America for graduate school. Adrian's old obsession returns at once, and the Sterling family makes Sophie's position painfully clear: she may manage Adrian's scandals, protect his future, and share his bed, but she will never be considered his equal. When Sophie finds him comforting Claire after a midnight call, the fragile bargain holding her life together begins to crack. Caught between love, ambition, and the powerful family that can shape her future, Sophie must decide whether to keep fighting for the man she has always wanted or finally choose the life he never imagined she could build without him.
