Princess Evelyne Veyrath has spent her life surrounded by luxury, rumors, and fear. When peace demands she marry Duke Alaric Valemont, a commander who fought against her father’s armies, she expects nothing from him but resentment. Alaric expects the spoiled, cruel princess everyone warned him about. Instead, he finds a beautiful and confusing wife whose anger hides fear, whose arrogance looks suspiciously like panic, and whose every mistake seems to terrify her. Evelyne secretly longs for the husband she believes cannot want her, while Alaric keeps his distance from the wife he believes cannot stand him. As attraction grows and carefully hidden truths begin to surface, both must discover how disastrously wrong they have been about each other.
