The Archvillain's Daughter-In-Law

Orphaned and buried under a mountain of debt, Laria Losstree finds herself with no way out—until the archvillain Duke Icardes makes her an offer she can't refuse: he will settle every last bill, provided she agrees to marry his son, Evan. Aloof and emotionally distant, Evan is far from the ideal husband, but Laria doesn't mind—she intends to quietly stockpile her new allowance and make a clean getaway the first chance she gets. Yet just as her escape plan takes shape, the duke begins treating her with unexpected kindness, leaving Laria to wonder if he has already seen through her scheme. What follows is a cunning game of cat and mouse between the notorious archvillain and his unsuspecting daughter-in-law.
