TERMS OF FREEDOM is a contemporary romance about what happens when love stops being a bargain-and becomes a choice.
Vivienne Carlisle has spent her life being the perfect daughter: polished, obedient, and carefully managed by the powerful family that built her world. When a historic property tied to the Carlisle legacy faces a high-stakes restoration deadline, Vivi sees a chance to prove herself-until she realizes the project is just another leash, and her "responsibility" is really control.
Evan Mercer doesn't do favors and he doesn't do deals. A contractor with a reputation for honest work, he's hired to stabilize the building-but the deeper he gets, the clearer it becomes that the danger isn't only in cracked beams and rushed timelines. It's in the pressure behind closed doors, the contracts nobody reads, and the story Vivi's father is determined to write for her.
As rumors spread and the schedule tightens, Vivi and Evan are pushed to the edge: comply and keep the peace... or fight for the truth and risk everything. Because in Carlisle territory, freedom always has a price.
And this time, Vivi refuses to pay with her life.
A vivid, emotionally charged romance with high tension, slow-burn chemistry, and a hard-won happily ever after.
