Marked by the Duke, Mistaken for a Dude!

Summary:

Before she was feared as the Crimson Broker, Riley Arden was a street-smart tomboy from the modern world-scrappy, sarcastic, and secretly starved for love. Her life ended one night with a flash of betrayal and pain... only for her to wake up in a strange, opulent world of swords, spells, and social suicide.

Now reborn as Lady Riven Arven-heiress of a once-glorious noble house smeared with scandal-Riley wants nothing to do with ballroom etiquette or corsets. But fate, as always, has terrible timing.

At a dazzling imperial ball, one stolen night of mischief turns into something far more intimate. Riven crosses paths with Duke Fenrir Valthorne, the famously cold and dangerously handsome noble known as the "Wolf of the North." One whirlwind night-just one-and they never expected to see each other again.

...Until they do.

And now? She's not just some noblewoman. She's disappeared, reinvented as The Crimson Broker-a sharp-tongued, suit-wearing, boyish rogue dealing in secrets and whispers, feared by nobles, hunted by enemies... and still very much hiding the fact she once shared a bed with the Duke.

But Fenrir knows. Somehow, he knows. And when they're forced to attend a tense diplomatic mission together-with no knights, no backup, and all eyes watching-a monstrous ambush throws them into battle.

When Riven saves him, her disguise is torn, her shoulder glows with a mysterious soulmark, and Fenrir realizes the truth:
She's not just a girl in hiding.
She's his destined mate.

Things only get messier from there.

Caught in the rising tension between two empires-and surrounded by four very complicated men (each dangerously attractive in their own right)-Riven must untangle her past life, her current chaos, and the fate she never asked for.
