On the day of her engagement, down-on-her-luck noblewoman Rosalind catches her fiancé, Wayne, in bed with her stepsister, Celine. They shove her down the stairs and leave her utterly humiliated. Just when she’s lost all hope, her savior turns out to be none other than Duke Tristan—her fiancé’s father. He’s the most powerful man in the realm, a man who’s never shown interest in any woman... until her. He offers her a deal: he’ll help her reclaim her inheritance and get revenge, but only if she becomes his. From a secret contract to dangerous flirtation on the hunting grounds, from her stepmother and stepsister’s relentless schemes to her scumbag fiancé’s endless cruelty, Rosalind takes back everything piece by piece under Tristan’s silent protection—and falls deeper into a forbidden love neither of them can resist.
