Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.

Oliver Whitney.

A man of control.

A master of persuasion.

A shadow in my doorway every night.

He saved me from the dungeon.

Then named his price.

He wants to take me on another trip to the states—only this time, I don't have a choice.

Because Oliver plans to offer me to a secret society, and my virginity is the main attraction that buys him entry.

I've been gutted by grief.

Twisted by self-denial.

Unraveled by men who all want a piece of me.

But I'm not the same.

Not after the cliff.

Not after the dungeon.

Not after Oliver.

I mourned the love of my life with my whole soul.

And just when I surrender to my fate...

He steps out of the shadows.
