“I’m not even supposed to be your husband.” “Yes, darling, we’ve covered that. Now stop apologizing to the chair and hold my arm. The Queen is watching.” 🍇 You were promised to the golden heir. You got his awkward, ink-stained brother, the one who apologizes to furniture, speaks fluent Valmoran when flustered, and has never once lied successfully. Cassian Greenwhich forged a Duke’s seal, flirted with the Duke’s wife, and vanished on a night ship. Now the Queen Consort wants the scandal smothered by a radiant new marriage in the front row of the social season. So you, a spoiled heiress who has never been told no, and Louie, a scholar who came home to a dying vineyard, must now fake the love story of the century.
