A brilliant and independent young man, Mathias Fourth Sevilla is forced into a reluctant marriage with Avegail Midwest to secure his inheritance, but as he battles his pride and desire for control, he must decide if power is worth the sacrifice of his own heart.
***
Mathias Fourth Sevilla tasted the heavens on earth, but his life as the adopted son of Alejandro Sevilla was far from perfect. Intelligent and resourceful, Mathias always got what he wanted. His father seems to favor him more than his own son, Matteo Sevilla, creating an unspoken rivalry.
Mathias prides himself on his independence and dominance, refusing to be controlled by anyone, not even his parents. However, a twist of fate forces him to make a promise inside a church that changes everything.
Though every part of him resists, Mathias agrees to marry Avegail Midwest. He knows the marriage is a means to an end―access to his father's wealth, power, and the future that was always meant to be his. But can he truly bend to his destiny, or will his pride cost him everything?
