His Cruel Mercy

For ten years, Felix Dalton spoils me. I believe I am the exception—until I kiss him. All I receive is his disgust and a marriage contract. He uses a massive dowry to force me into marrying another man. He traps me with his authority as my guardian. The more I resist, the colder he becomes. Yet I catch the pain hidden in his eyes. I discover the medicine bottle he keeps concealed. This seemingly cruel push away turns out to be his desperate attempt to protect me. And the secret buried in his darkness is enough to overturn everything I have known for ten years.
