Summary
Official Details
Trapped in a joyless engagement to the crown prince and weary of the relentless violence plaguing the capital, Violet Hale desperately seeks an escape from her suffocating existence. Her salvation arrives in the form of the enigmatic Archduke Cedric Etchell. In gratitude for Violet saving his estate, Cedric intervenes to sever her unwanted betrothal and proposes a contractual marriage in its place, offering her the immediate refuge she needs. With this unexpected arrangement securing her present, Violet turns her attention toward the future. Resolved to stand entirely on her own once their agreement concludes, she channels her ambition into establishing a business, determined to forge an independent path free from reliance on anyone else. Romance was never part of her carefully constructed plans. Yet, as she navigates her new life alongside the archduke, Violet must confront an unforeseen possibility: that the man who granted her freedom might ultimately inspire this self-made lady to change her heart.
