Summary
In a quiet rural village, a shadow falls with the arrival of a mysterious marquis, whose sole obsession lies in acquiring art depicting the nude form. For Liv Rodeis, a humble private tutor, life is a desperate struggle to afford medicine for her ailing sibling. Driven by necessity, she secretly poses for artists, carefully concealing her identity by only allowing her back to be painted. She believes her secret is safe, until one day, a scandalous painting revealing the curve of her face is sold to an unknown buyer.
Her world shatters, but the marquis’s gaze is already upon her. “God may listen, but He doesn’t grant wishes,” he murmurs, his voice a chilling, seductive whisper. “The power to make something happen lies in human hands, Teacher. So, try praying to me.” His pale blue eyes, sharp and captivating, promise a miracle—or perhaps a dangerous bargain. Will Liv dare to make a deal with a man who demands devotion, not to God, but to himself?
