After One-Night Stand, the Duke Loved Me Madly

Vivian is the picture of a perfect lady—graceful, obedient, harmless. But behind that soft smile lies a spine of steel. Lost her parents at eight and trapped for a decade under the twisted control of her obsessive uncle, she’s spent years plotting the day she’d burn her so-called family to the ground. She gives her first time to a stranger—only to discover he’s Alden, a dangerously powerful duke. He sees through her act, but instead of walking away, he falls—hard. He becomes her weapon, her shield… and eventually, her love. Together, they plot revenge and rewrite their fate. As Vivian rises from the ashes, love blooms in the fire—and no one who wronged her gets out unscathed.
