❝No mundo real, adulto, era mais fácil encontrar unicórnios
do que príncipes encantados.❞
O devasso Jeon Jungkook, duque de Ainswood, está pronto para sua próxima conquista e já escolheu o alvo: o jornalista Park Jimin. Só que desta vez, além de seduzir um belo homem, ele deseja também se vingar dele. Ao se envolver numa discussão em uma taverna, Jeon foi nocauteado por Jimin e se tornou alvo de chacota de toda a sociedade. Agora ele quer dar o troco manchando a reputação do moço. Mas Jimin não está interessada em romance, principalmente com um homem pervertido feito Jungkook. Em seus artigos, ele ataca nobres insensatos como ele, a quem considera o principal causa dos problemas sociais. Nesse duelo de vontades, Jungkook e Jimin se esforçam para provocar a derrota mais humilhante ao mesmo tempo que lutam contra a atração que o adversário lhe desperta. E, nessa divertida batalha de sedução e malícia, resta saber quem será o primeiro a ceder à tentação.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
