Damien Cross has failed three times to save the woman he loves. Violence didn't work. Running didn't work. Exposure didn't work. Every attempt ended in death and despair.

Now, in his sixth timeline, Damien tries the most dangerous strategy of all: Integration. He goes back two years to become Viktor Volkov's protégé. He rises through the ranks of the criminal empire, compromising his soul one deal at a time, until he becomes the only man Viktor trusts with his daughter's hand in marriage.

But marriage to Amaya isn't the fairy tale Damien imagined. It's a trap. By trying to protect her from the inside, Damien becomes her jailer. As the walls of their golden cage close in, he must face a terrifying truth: He hasn't saved Amaya. He has become exactly like the father she hates.
