Marie Lisle use to have it all. Her life was all planned out for her. Born as a French noble, Marie could have anything her heart desired. After her parents planned a profitable engagement to her cousin Pierre, Marie's future began to look brighter by the second. However, Marie hated it that her life was planned out for her and yearned to be free. Unfortunately, her wish came true in the worst way imaginable.

However, how can she truly begin to love him when she is hiding the biggest secret of all? Yet, if she reveals her secret the only possible ending is death.
