Your choices will determine whether she becomes a pawn or the player in this lethal aristocratic game.

The wedding band feels like a manacle. I stare at Damien across the breakfast table—this stranger I'm bound to for life—as he precisely butters my toast exactly how I like it. Again. 'How did you know I prefer raspberry jam?' I ask, watching his fingers stiffen around the silver knife. His smile doesn't reach those glacier-blue eyes. 'Your sister mentioned it.' A lie. Lydia despises raspberries. When a housemaid drops a tray, Damien flinches like a beaten dog. The rumors said he tortured stableboys for fun. The man before me jumps at broken china. Later, in the west wing where I'm forbidden to go, I hear weeping through the walls. It sounds like my husband. The grandfather clock chimes midnight as I face a choice: retreat to my gilded prison or pick the lock on Damien's private study.
