   Summary

   Rogue is barely scraping by when an impossible job offer arrives: a triple salary, a luxury car, and a private art studio, courtesy of billionaire Charles Xavier.It feels like the lifeline she’s been praying for. But as the iron gates of the estate close behind her, the overwhelming generosity begins to feel less like a miracle and more like a beautifully crafted cage.Rogue is completely blind to the history buried under the floorboards, or what she has truly gotten herself into.
