Yet, not everyone is deterred by the dark whispers surrounding her name.

Known throughout high society as a ruthless tyrant, Kashburn actively pursues Alicia for a second marriage, entirely undaunted by her grim reputation. As these two outcasts from polite society draw closer together, the true nature of the man behind the fearsome rumors begins to reveal itself, setting the stage for a romance that defies the expectations of the world around them.
