Some stories begin with love.
Theirs begins with an obligation.

Vivienne Bellemont has spent her entire life being admired. Alexander Windsor has spent his time being feared. To Manhattan's elite, their arranged engagement is a perfect union between two powerful families, a future written long before either of them had a choice.

But beneath their carefully crafted reputations lies a different truth.
Vivienne is tired of being loved for what she represents.
Alexander has long since stopped believing in love at all.

As wedding plans, public appearances, and family expectations force them together, the walls they've spent years building begin to crack. Because sometimes the person hiding behind the mask is exactly the person you've been searching for all along.
