Until now, my family has been the only threat, but when a new one emerges, my father is forced to arrange a marriage between Lucian and me.

Handsome as he may be, Lucian is not the kind of man who loves. He simply takes what he wants, and right now, that is my body. Though I may bear his name, the question remains: will our union be consummated in blood or love?

Faced with this new reality, my father is compelled to orchestrate an arranged marriage between Lucian and myself. Lucian, a figure whose brutality, possessiveness, and danger have earned him a reputation of fear among all, including myself, now stands as my betrothed.
