Pain is felt especially strongly when it’s inflicted at the very moment you feel happiest in the world.
My future husband proved this to me masterfully.
Dmitry Tитов is the very model of a skilled liar and a ruthless killer. He made me believe that something sincere could be found in our hypocritical world—and then, in the blink of an eye, shattered my faith.
I hate the scoundrel, but I must marry him to keep my family from collapse. Now, more than ever, we need to preserve our lands, power, and allies—in order to root out members of the enemy alliance and prove their guilt in a string of recent incidents.
The enemy has set its sights on destroying my brother, who intends to bring down the current system of rule. And Titov can help him.
But will he? No one knows.
And will I be able to play my part correctly in this dangerous game? Especially when I admit to myself that despite the hatred and our endless struggle, I still love the man who breaks my heart every day.
