The Reborn Duke's Hated Bride

About this story

Synopsis

Danika Rimestone, the daughter of a disgraced baron, was destined for nothing other than a short life. Born into a world she once read about in her past life as a minor character doomed to die young, she uses the knowledge she has of this new world to evade her fast approaching demise. Making a deal with the devil was her only choice. Lucien Vaultear Wingknight, the Duke and second prince, is a man consumed by shadows. Fifteen years ago, the Sun King massacred his family and enslaved his people, leaving him scarred in body and soul. He has spent every waking moment plotting his revenge. But when the Sun King's daughter falls into his hands, he discovers that his plans for vengeance are not as simple as he imagined. Danika is nothing like her father. She is luminous in ways he cannot understand, and her touch quiets the shadow that has haunted him for fifteen years. He hates her for it. He needs her for it. And he will keep her bound to him by any means necessary. Little did she know that her desperate bargain would be the beginning of a roller coaster of events. What started as a transaction becomes a dangerous game of power, desire, and redemption. And in a court where everyone has secrets, the most dangerous secret of all might be the one growing in both their hearts.
