    Millicent Arthur has always been the dutiful daughter, sandwiched between two older brothers and under constant "guidance" from her marriage-focused mother. Coming of age, for Millicent, is less about self-discovery and more about dodging family pressures to find a "suitable match." That is, until she meets Jace Kwaku Elrod-a wildly charming and annoyingly attractive artist whose carefree ways make her wonder if there might be more to life than following the rules. In an unexpected turn neither of them saw coming, Millicent and Jace strike a deal: they'll pose as a married couple to keep her matchmakers at bay, all while keeping their single lives intact. But when Jace's past secrets and Milicent's family dramas collide, their make-believe marriage starts to feel a little too real. As they fumble through family gatherings, dodge suspicious friends, and question their own feelings, they're left wondering if love can bloom between lies-and if they're brave enough to rewrite the rules.

Fifteen dry seasons later, she returns to Belbe's palace intending to catch up for the lost times. But life in the palace is not as the young girl had imagined.

Favored with good looks and high confidence, he moves with an aura that screams power and never lets his guard down not even with his supposedly betrothed. But all it takes are Iniko's smiles and bright personality, and the walls of his heart start to crumble. Nyennoh's ascension to the throne begins a silent war for supremacy. It becomes lethal when the yearning demons of those craving control of the crown are fully reawakened. The fangs of terror dig in, claw at their lives and destiny weaves a story of love, survival, and loss.
