071
To repay the man who saved her, Anya Sharp accepts a mysterious gentleman's demand: live as a maid for six years, caring for Blake Huber and his young son. She endures the household’s coldness and Keira’s calculated sabotage, keeping silent until the contract ends. Keira's sudden return and the father's and child's shifting loyalties break Anya's patience; she leaves as agreed and reunites with Trevon, now recovered. Only after she is gone does Blake see her true worth. Too late, a long-buried truth emerges and, in its wake, Blake is gravely wounded while protecting Anya. Faced with loss and revelation, Anya chooses to move forward with Trevon, finally leaving the scars of those six years behind.
