Evangeline leads the DP Society, a fact nobody in her family knows. Her terminally ill grandfather calls her home with one request: marry Jonathan, a man with a mean streak and a plan to break her in. She agrees, mostly to give the old man peace.
Jonathan's idea of marriage is control, and he brings accomplices to help him enforce it. Evangeline doesn't argue. She answers every attempt to corner her with the resources of an organization he can't see, letting him believe he's winning right up until the ground moves. Her grandfather's remaining time is the clock she's racing, and every move Jonathan makes costs him more than he knows.
