She married the most powerful duke in the empire. A contract. A deal. She needed him for revenge. He needed her to fill the blank from eight years ago. Eight years ago, someone drugged her. Someone drugged him. They spent one night together without seeing each other’s faces. The next morning, her father threw her out. Her stepmother’s daughter took her place as princess—and got engaged to the same man. She came back. At the engagement party, she kissed him in front of everyone. They thought she was insane. Only he knew—he’d been waiting eight years for that kiss. But she didn’t know he’d already recognized her. And he never told her he’d spent eight years searching.
