Mireille Duval Jameson’s life looks like a modern fairy tale. Daughter of one of Haiti’s wealthiest men, she has a devoted husband, a beloved son, and summers spent on her father’s luxurious estate. But when Mireille is kidnapped in broad daylight, the illusion shatters.

Imprisoned by a man who calls himself The Commander, Mireille becomes the bargaining chip in a deadly standoff. Her father refuses to bend, the ransom remains unpaid, and the days of her captivity stretch into unthinkable torment. Each moment chips away at her strength, forcing Mireille to confront the violence of a world where wealth is powerless.

As survival collides with betrayal, Mireille must fight to reclaim not just her freedom, but the woman she was before. Will she ever find her way back?
