Damon Blackwood, the weary Duke of Courtney, wasn't seeking romance when he slipped away from the ball. He was seeking silence. But the rose garden held a secret: Lady Athena Felix. Alone beneath the vast, silver canvas of the night sky, Athena embodied the elusive destiny Damon had waited a lifetime to find-his fated mate, a fellow Child of the Moon.
In the secluded, shadowed paths, a whispered conversation became a powerful, inescapable vow. The air, thick with the scent of a thousand roses, seemed to hold its breath as their shared heritage was confirmed. They were bound, instantly and forever, by a cosmic tether that neither could deny.
But their clandestine meeting-a flicker of intimacy against the dark backdrop of high society-did not go unnoticed. Athena belongs to Lord Victor Felix, a man whose powerful grip tolerates no challenge. Now, with destiny demanding they be together, Damon and Athena must choose: remain safe but separate in their gilded cages, or risk everything for the path that began with a silent vow in the moonlight.
