"Arrogant Prince. You're not the only one who can toy with others."

Valentia Syner, the greatest mind in all of the Imperial Academy's history.

Her fellows at the academy called her "The Iron Maiden". Some did it out of jealousy. Others, out of contempt. But no one ever approached Valentia. Even her own family avoided her.

The first person to ever reach out to Valentia was the playboy of the Imperial family-the Prince, Lexus.

"Who dares to slap the Imperial Prince?"

Their first meeting went terribly. They exchanged awful words and there was even a slap involved. But over time, the two of them became very close.

However, Valentia discovered a terrible truth just before she was about to confess something to Lexus-she was pregnant with his child.

Valentia had to run away to protect herself.

And then a few years passed.

"Did he just say you were his mom?"

That awful man, Lexus, appeared once more before Valentia, who was living a quiet life with her lovely son, Elijah.

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. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
