The Gilded Dose

Elena, a night-shift nurse from a decaying industrial town, marries Dominic Hartwell, the charismatic heir of a trucking empire, after a chance accident involving one of his fleet. She believes she has escaped poverty through a fairytale romance, only to discover that her new life is a chemically-induced prison. To shield his company from a ruinous wrongful death lawsuit, Dominic and a corrupt physician use a perfect drug regimen to strip her of her memory and legal capacity, reducing her to a silent signatory. In the rare breaks of lucidity, Elena must piece together the conspiracy and fight to reclaim her stolen identity, learning that her ascent to wealth was a transaction with a crushing compound interest: her own mind.
