Amelia was born unwanted. As an illegitimate daughter of a noble house, she spent her days starving—surviving on weeds plucked from the garden.

Her fiancé? None other than Duke Logan—the infamous “Brutal Duke” feared by all.

Why her? What does he want?

And can a girl who’s only ever known cruelty… survive a love that feels just as dangerous?
