Linae-stories
Jennette Margarita never expected her future to be decided with a single signature.
One day, she is living peacefully under the protection of the Imperial Family. The next, she finds herself engaged to Jeremy Agriche-the infamous heir of the Agriche household, a family feared throughout the empire for their influence, ruthlessness, and dangerous reputation.
To the rest of high society, the match makes perfect sense. It is a political alliance, nothing more. A way to strengthen ties between the Imperial Family and one of the most powerful noble houses in the continent.
To Jennette, however, it feels like a disaster.
Jeremy Agriche is nothing like the man she imagined. He isn't the cold monster from the rumors, nor is he the cruel villain whispered about behind fans and teacups. Instead, he's observant, infuriatingly charming, and far too amused by her reactions for her liking.
Meanwhile, Jeremy finds himself unexpectedly intrigued by the woman who was supposed to be nothing more than a political obligation. Jennette is kind without being naïve, gentle without being weak, and far more capable of standing her ground than anyone realizes.
As their engagement draws them closer together, what begins as an inconvenient arrangement slowly becomes something neither of them anticipated. Between noble politics, family expectations, jealous rivals, and the ever-watchful eyes of society, Jennette and Jeremy must decide whether their marriage will remain a contract... or become something more.
After all, the most dangerous thing in Jeremy Agriche's life may not be his family.
It may be falling in love with his future wife.
