Description

Wilhazelle's extravagant lifestyle has bankrupted her family, leaving her desperate for cash. When she discovers a bounty for the duke's missing nephew, she sees her salvation. She finds the boy in a poor village and brings him to the duke, but the skeptical noble demands she stay at his manor for a month to confirm the child's identity. The arrangement stretches into a year, then transforms into an unexpected contract marriage with the duke himself—one that pays handsomely but comes with increasingly puzzling questions about his behavior and midnight visits.
