Lucian thought Vera was his savior. He was wrong. Eileen was the one who saved him—but he used her as a shield instead. Now Eileen has a plan. Swap the brides. Vera marries into danger. She marries the "crippled" Edward. Everyone pities her. Until Edward stands up. Until Eileen seizes her mother's fortune. Until Lucian discovers the truth and comes crawling back, drowning in regret. Too late. The woman he threw away is now the most powerful person in the empire. He lost her. And she will never look back.
