Summary

In a world where names are branded on the skin to reveal soul mates, Bea is struggling to survive, weighed down by a family tragedy and insurmountable debt. One night, during her shift at the Montenegro bar, frequented by the wealthy elite, she meets Rhodes, a stranger who mysteriously knows her name and whose touch makes her wrist burn. Amid her usual misfortune, Rhodes reappears with an irresistible proposal: he will cover her brother's hospital expenses and free her from her debts in exchange for an arranged marriage. Rhodes is an enigma: powerful and ruthless with the outside world, yet surprisingly devoted to Bea. As his secrets and threats from his own family are revealed, Bea is healed in ways she doesn't even realize. Amid the dangers that surround them and the hidden truth about the man who saved her, they silently promise each other a "home" and a future together. Time, the invisible thread that binds them, will test the strength of their connection, which defies fate and may cost them more than they can imagine.
