21 parts Complete MatureLady Melissa Spencer-Churchill realized that she was a woman of many flaws and very few, very few redeeming qualities.
With her family at a loss as to how to handle her, Melissa's solution was to go out there and carve out her own place among a more accepting crowd.
Impatient, intrepid and...somewhat innocent, Melissa sat down and listed her three best qualities and resolved to use them to ensnare the most eligible bachelor in London to marry her.
Enter His Highness, Prince Viktor Debanov-impossibly wealthy and dangerously handsome. A man shrouded in mystery within the magical community, and even more so in the human world. All the more reason Melissa was irresistibly drawn to him.
He smiled. "My dear innocent lady, what exactly do you stand to gain from this partnership?"
"You," she whispered. "I would gain you."
He wished he could believe her, but he knew better. She did not love him, and he certainly did not love her.
"There is no room for lies in marriage, my lady," he murmured.
"No, but we are not married yet. I'd say you'll have to find out for yourself, sir"
The church bell rang and the marriage began. Melissa had no intention of ever letting anyone find out her secrets, least of all her husband. Little did our dear innocent lady know that her trophy husband also harbored a few secrets of his own-secrets as dangerous as the man himself.
