About this book

Lucien de Vierre is a man defined by his reputation. Known as the "Wolf," this feared nobleman has spent years distancing himself from the treacherous royal court, harborng a dark history of rebellion and violence. However, his defiance comes at a cost. As punishment for a past entanglement with the king’s mistress, Lucien is forced into a marriage he never wanted. His bride is Mariel, a woman as gentle and unassuming as he is volatile and guarded. What begins as a cold, mandatory union quickly shifts into something far more dangerous. While Mariel expects a life of silence and distance, she finds herself protected with a ferocity that defies the rumors surrounding her husband. For Lucien, the arrangement transforms from a penance into an obsession; he finds himself willing to burn the kingdom to the ground just to keep Mariel safe. Featuring the forced proximity and grumpy/sunshine tropes, this slow-burn romance explores the fragile line between duty and desire. As old enemies circle the couple and Lucien’s buried secrets threaten to surface, they must navigate a court where power is the only currency and love is the ultimate liability. Will their growing bond survive, or will the truth destroy them both?
