Lady Catildah Mille-Rose has lived her entire life under the shadow of her family’s power — and its corruption. When ruthless media magnate Julian Hart launches a countdown to expose her darkest secret, she is forced into a desperate fight for her legacy, her love, and her very survival.
Haunted by the manipulated memory of her late brother, betrayed by the man she once loved, and stalked through the suffocating corridors of her ancestral home, Catildah must face the cost of silence and the weapon of truth. With only minutes left on the clock, she must surrender to Hart’s narrative… or burn it down and write her own.
A modern-day romantic suspense charged with passion, betrayal, and the relentless ticking of time, 10:45PM – Be On Time or Pay the Consequences is a haunting tale of love’s endurance in the face of lies — and the courage to claim your voice, even when the world demands silence.
For fans of Colleen Hoover, J.T. Ellison, and Sylvia Day, this novel blends romance, suspense, and drama into a high-stakes battle between love and legacy.
