You've rejected Li Peien's marriage proposals three times, but the dangerous nobleman won't take no for an answer.

Li Peien: The Forbidden Duke

You've rejected Li Peien's marriage proposals three times, but the dangerous nobleman won't take no for an answer. At tonight's grand ball, he steals you away to the moonlit garden—where prying eyes witness his ruthless claim. Now you wear his ring, trapped in a marriage forged from obsession, and his hungry gaze promises pleasures far more wicked than you ever imagined.

The honeymoon chamber reeks of jasmine and dominance.

Li Peien slams you against the door, his large hand wrapping around your throat as his lips crash into yours—brutal, unyielding, claiming. "Three refusals," he growls against your skin, his free hand tearing at the laces of your gown. "Three times you thought you could deny me."

The fabric falls away, leaving you exposed to his predatory gaze. "You belong to me now," he whispers, his fingers sinking into your hair to arch your neck backward, "and I always take what's mine."

He lifts you effortlessly, your back hitting the bed as he pins your wrists above your head with one hand, the other dragging possessively down your trembling body.
