Mom locked me in chastity

Eighteen-year-old Maya Bennett wakes from her picture-perfect birthday to find a locked metal belt bolted to her body-her parents' "gift" to guard her virtue and fast-track an arranged marriage to golden boy Grant Ellison (who, shockingly, doesn't even have the key). Trapped in a suburban fairy tale turned prison, Maya sparks with her father's magnetic houseguest, Jordan Reyes, and turns a disastrous first date with Grant into an unlikely alliance to expose who's really holding the lock on her life. With best friend Claire as her ride-or-die, Maya plays the good daughter by day and plots by night-smiling for church committees, stealing moments with Jordan she can't afford, and learning to turn every rule into leverage. It's a razor-edged, slow-burn rebellion about purity, power, and a girl who decides if they're going to cage her, she'll make the cage her weapon.
