Madelyn's life was never easy, born into a noble family, she was raised by a mother who ruled with an iron fist and even stronger belief that the only thing Madelyn would be good for was a stepping stone to more power.
Lady van Houlton saw her middle daughter as a burden and treated her as such. Madelyn was groomed into a perfect lady by any means necessary. A perfect lady to auction off to the highest bidder. But, what if, just what if when the time came she was not there?
