Lilian Aster Hawthorn is 15 who is a psychopath. Her parents, exhausted by her "episodes," send her to a shrink, hoping for answers. What they get is a label. A Psychopath. But Lilian has always known she was different-cold, detached, an outsider looking in.
She believes no one truly sees her.
But Lawrence King does.
He is the kind of man people remember without ever truly knowing. He doesn't need to speak to command a room-his presence alone is enough. Power clings to him effortlessly, woven into every glance, every measured movement. He is charismatic, artistic, and intellectual, yet sarcastic with a god-complex. People are drawn to him without understanding why. But his focus is elsewhere. On her.
From the moment he saw Lilian, he knew she was different-unsettling yet magnetic. Something about her should be terrifying, but it isn't. If anything, it fascinates him. He watches from a distance, unseen, waiting. She doesn't know he exists. Not yet.
But one day, she will.
And when she does, she'll belong to him.
"My mother named me Miracle, but I am anything but a miracle in her and our family's life. I am a mistake. I am a product of a heinous crime."
Miracle Astor was born after the rape of her mother. Aurora Astor was convinced by everyone in her family to have an abortion when she found out that her assault had resulted in a child, but much to everyone's shock, Aurora kept the child, and after a long and excruciating labor, on her last breath, she said the word Miracle, which became her daughter's name.
After Aurora died giving birth to her daughter, little Miracle was left under the care of her brothers, all of whom blamed her for the tragedy that happened to their mother. But in order to protect the reputation of their late mother and their well-known family name, the Astor brothers raised Miracle as their own and made the public believe that she was the full-blood daughter of the Astor family.
Sixteen years later, Miracle became depressed and neglected as she carries the heavy weight of pain, guilt, and blame for what happened to her mother.
But what happens when history tries to repeat itself with what happened to Aurora now threatening to happen to Miracle? And the terrible secret of their family cracks and reveals itself out to everyone? Will Miracle finally break? Will her brothers finally step in and be the brothers that she needed? Will someone stop the history from repeating itself and finally save Miracle?
