10 parts Ongoing MatureIn Victorian-era France, noble duty is everything especially for Victoria Everleigh, a sharp-tongued young woman being forced into an arranged marriage to restore her family's standing. Her betrothed, the brooding and untouchable Lord Easton Vale, sees her as nothing more than a spoiled pawn in a high-stakes game of power and prestige.
But what begins as icy indifference quickly ignites into something far more dangerous. Beneath the ballroom masks and barbed words lies an undeniable pull neither of them can deny. As tension simmers behind closed doors, their reluctant alliance grows complicated especially with a jealous friend hiding secrets of her own, and a mother-in-law-to-be with motives deeper than tea and etiquette.
In a world ruled by appearances, passion is the one sin they cannot afford, but it may be the only truth they have left.
A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with scandal, secrets, and seduction.
