A marriage of convenience. A mansion full of secrets. And a bride armed with a raccoon named Bernard.
Theodosia Blythe was never the "proper daughter." Too loud, too opinionated, too fond of obscure insults and taxidermy. So when her family drags her back into high society to marry Sebastian Everhart - the emotionally constipated heir of a crumbling empire - she agrees. For the inheritance. For the power. And maybe...for revenge.
But Everhart estate isn't just cold marble and whispered expectations. It's hiding something darker. Blackmail. Betrayal. A legacy soaked in secrets.
As Theo sets the halls aflame with sarcasm and chaos, she uncovers the truth that could bring down both families. And somehow - amid all the scandal, schemes, and stolen kisses - she starts to feel something dangerously close to love.
Sharp banter, slow burn tension and just enough murder.
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, family intrigue, and heroines who'd rather fight than curtsy.

Leaving quickly from a job Amelia walked past a bar that caught her eye. If she had known how much her life would change after that night would she still have walked through those doors? She still couldn't answer that question. That night became the first time she met Theo Romano, heir to the Italian Mafia, and unfortunately for Amelia it wouldn't be the last. ***** This book is considered mature. I don't want to upset anyone. This is the warning to potential triggers of murder, suicide, abuse, and adult themes.Complete
