From WSJ & Amazon Best-Selling Author Arden Rue Vale comes a dark, emotionally charged romance about power, survival, and the kind of love that liberates by burning every chain in its path.Sloane Beaumont was born into a legacy of control - a bloodline of daughters bartered through contracts, marriages, and loyalties not their own. Raised behind gilded walls and trained to be compliant, she learned early that obedience is not safety, only another shape of captivity. Dominic Cross was meant to be her escape, the man who bought her freedom from the very system that created them both. But freedom has a price, and love is never simple when it grows in the shadow of ownership and betrayal.As the Keyholder network begins to fracture and the world that shaped them starts to fall apart, old debts resurface with sharper edges. Allegiances shift, secrets rise to the surface, and the people Sloane trusted most become the ones capable of hurting her the deepest. Caught between the man who holds her heart and the brother-in-arms who truly sees her, Sloane must confront the truth about who she is when no one else is pulling the strings.To claim her future, she'll have to break the last lock - the one forged from loyalty, desire, and the fear of choosing herself at last.The Last Keyholder is a dark, haunting romance about autonomy, love, and the devastating courage it takes to rewrite a life built on control.
