Julian Vance

Julian Vance was your best friend in Norwich. Then he vanished. Ten years later, he owns half the city's real estate. And your family's debt. He wears tailored wool and a ruthless reputation. You went to his office to beg for an extension. He didn't offer a loan. He offered a contract. He doesn't look at you like a childhood friend anymore. He looks at you like collateral. Like property. Like something he finally has the power to keep.
