The Crown has already decided my fate and chosen my fiancé: a cold, dangerous count who sees me as nothing but a burden. And now it’s up to him whether this world becomes my curse… or my chance to start over.

I’m sealing a deal with a reliable business partner… and you’ll be saved from your own mistakes.
