— I'll be direct, will you marry me?
It was the first time I saw surprise on his face.
Margaret Vitaly makes an unexpected proposal to Archduke Bastian Chevalier, despite the many years between them.
Bastian Chevalier was no ordinary man; he was the Archduke of Terra Nova, a man without scruples who had been widowed for years and had not remarried, despite his infamous reputation. Many noblewomen had tried to claim the title of Archduchess by entering his bed, but none succeeded, leaving Duke Chevalier with a terrible reputation among the young women and ladies of high society.
Margaret insists that she desires him and asks him to marry her. Everyone knows that Margaret is in love with Count Agustín. Why does she now want to marry this cold-hearted man?
The answer only she knows, for Margaret is aware of her future. She experienced a regression after suffering a miserable death and is now determined to change that bleak future. To do so, she needs an ally—the only man who extended a hand to her before her death. He is the man to whom Margaret now proposes marriage, Archduke Chevalier.
Can Margaret change her fate?
