Sera Bennett once believed Adrian Blackwood was the man she would spend her life with.
He had promised her a crown beside him, a life of luxury, and a love powerful enough to silence every doubt.
Then Sera ran.
She disappeared without an explanation, leaving Adrian with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart full of betrayal. Three years later, Sera returns to the city with a secret she can no longer hide.
Unfortunately, Adrian is no longer the man she left behind.
He is colder, more powerful, and determined to make her pay for abandoning him. When Sera begs him for help, Adrian offers her exactly what she once refused.
A place beside him.
But this time, it won't be as his queen. It will be as his mistress.
“You wanted freedom when you left me,” Adrian says coldly. “Now you'll learn what it costs.”
Sera knows she should walk away. But she also knows the truth about why she ran and if Adrian discovers it, their second chance may turn into their final goodbye.
