Story

The story

On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Seraphina de Valois is publicly cast aside when Julian Hart, heir to the Marquis of Blackwood, defies his family to break their engagement for Eva, a humble-born orphan. His cruelty turns her into the laughingstock of the capital, and though his father has him beaten for the insult, the bond between their houses is shattered. To spare her further pain, her parents send her to the city of Lyria for three years.

When Seraphina returns, Julian and Eva have been married two years, yet at her welcome banquet Julian publicly humiliates his own wife. He then arrives uninvited at a feast held by Princess Isabelle, greeting Seraphina with old intimacy and begging forgiveness with a gift of Eastern pearls. Seraphina has come home for her own betrothal, but Julian's sudden attention raises questions about what he truly wants.

Opening excerpt

“Eva may be of humble birth,” he declared, “but she is the love of my life. Do not cling to this, Seraphina. You’ll only tarnish your own name.”

Fearing I would fall into despair, my parents sent me away to the city of Lyria for three years.

When I finally returned to the capital, Julian and Eva had been married for two years.

And at my own welcome banquet, Julian Hart—the man who had been willing to cast his family aside for Eva—pointed at his wife with a look of utter disgust and snarled.

“Who allowed you to come out and embarrass me? Get back to the estate, now!”
