You came to England to escape. A scholarship, a new name, and an ocean between you and the life you left behind. The elite university is suffocating with its old money power games, but you’ve mastered the art of staying invisible.

Until him.

He was declared dead—then suddenly, not. Thorne Ashridge, heir to one of England’s wealthiest and most ruthless dynasties, wakes from a convenient coma… and chooses you to help keep up the lie. A fake relationship. A fabricated recovery. All to uncover who in his family wanted him gone.

You have every reason to say no. But debts, danger, and the promise of answers from your own shattered past tie you to him.

The job post sounded too good to be true. “Live-in caregiver needed. Excellent pay. Discretion required.” But you didn’t have the luxury to be picky—not with tuition breathing down your neck.

The estate was massive, cold, and quiet. You clutched your resume as an older man—probably the butler—led you through polished halls.

“He won’t speak. Won’t move. But he’s stable,” the man explained as he opened the door to the room.

Lying in the bed was a young man—too beautiful to be real. Pale, perfect, untouched.
