Summary
Amelia’s world shattered when war claimed her father, leaving her a ward in the gilded cage of Eileen’s palace. Longing for a life of her own, her hopes are crushed when she’s commanded to marry Lord Ray—a man whose name alone conjures whispers of cruelty and ruthlessness. He wants nothing to do with her, demanding her immediate departure. Yet, bound by an unbreakable decree, Amelia resolves to become the ‘good wife’ to this ‘evil god,’ even if it means enduring his icy disdain and offering him a marriage of convenience where he’s free to ignore her. But as she navigates the treacherous waters of his distrust, an unexpected warmth begins to melt the edges of his formidable heart. Can a tender romance bloom from a union nobody wanted, or will Amelia’s pragmatic approach to marriage lead to something far more profound? Discover their story in chapter one!
