Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.
Oliver Whitney.
A man of control.
A master of persuasion.
A shadow in my doorway every night.
He saved me from the dungeon.
Then named his price.
He wants to take me on another trip to the states—only this time, I don't have a choice.
Because Oliver plans to offer me to a secret society, and my virginity is the main attraction that buys him entry.
I've been gutted by grief.
Twisted by self-denial.
Unraveled by men who all want a piece of me.
But I'm not the same.
Not after the cliff.
Not after the dungeon.
Not after Oliver.
I mourned the love of my life with my whole soul.
And just when I surrender to my fate…
He steps out of the shadows.
