Marianne Fairmount's world shattered when she discovered her fiance in bed with her half-sister. The cruel revelation that she had always been alone hit her hard. Her father turned his back on her, blessing the marriage between her ex-fiance and her younger sister, even celebrating the announcement of their expected baby. Left with no partner, no place to live, dwindling savings, and a job hanging by a thread, Marianne decided to drown her sorrows in one too many drinks. In a moment of reckless abandon, she spent the night with a handsome stranger, surrendering her virginity.

The situation worsened, and with a burning desire for revenge against her family, Marianne found herself drawn to the enigmatic and secretive Lucius. She decided to propose a marriage contract that would not only put her heart at risk but possibly her very life.
