Sierra Silvers, a renowned healer engaged to Emperor Leander Farlong, fell victim to a sinister plot involving an aphrodisiac potion that led to the loss of her innocence. Unbeknownst to her, the man with whom she spent a passionate night was none other than Emperor Leander. Misled into believing that Sierra was merely a hooker seeking wealth, Leander became infuriated and distanced himself from her.
Leander, suffering from a long-standing poison, desperately searched for a cure but found none. Simultaneously, his mother pressured him to marry an unknown heiress of the Silvers family. Leander refused the arranged marriage outright, unaware that the heiress was exactely Sierra—the very healer he had been seeking and with whom he had already spent a passionate night.
