Description: She kidnaps the wrong man for revenge-and ends up humiliating the most dangerous power in the kingdom. Princess Eleanor Sterling is infamous for all the wrong reasons: extravagant, shameless, and surrounded by handsome favorites. But her scandalous reputation is a mask. In a court where the throne is hollow, the noble houses are circling, and the royal family survives on borrowed time, Eleanor plays the fool to protect what little remains of the crown. Then, in a reckless act of spite against the cold and untouchable Grand Tutor Lucien Blackwood, she abducts his twin brother... only to discover the man she bound to her bed is Lucien himself. Now Eleanor has committed the one mistake no one survives. Lucien commands the army, terrifies the court, and should have every reason to destroy her. Instead, he steps closer. What begins as a humiliating misunderstanding turns into a dangerous game of pursuit, secrets, and obsession-while rival nobles scheme for the Imperial Seal, false lovers weave betrayal, and the royal family teeters on the edge of ruin. If Eleanor miscalculates, she won't just lose her life. She could hand the kingdom to the very forces that want her bloodline erased. But with Lucien's gaze fixed on her and rebellion rising in the shadows, the real question is no longer whether she can escape him- It's whether the only man she fears is also the only one who can save her.
