Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage. Oliver Whitney. A man of control. A master of persuasion. A shadow in my doorway every night. He saved me from the dungeon. Then named his price. He wants to take me on another trip to the states—only this time, I don’t have a choice. Because Oliver plans to offer me to a secret society, and my virginity is the main attraction that buys him entry. I’ve been gutted by grief. Twisted by self-denial. Unraveled by men who all want a piece of me. But I’m not the same. Not after the cliff. Not after the dungeon. Not after Oliver. I mourned the love of my life with my whole soul. And just when I surrender to my fate… He steps out of the shadows. Part 10 of The Zodiac Queen. Intended for mature readers who enjoy dark and explicit themes. Reader discretion is advised.
