Title: Forbidden Lectures: The Sovereign’s Debt​Melody was 18 years old bratty princess of a criminal empire. He was the cold 26 years old, mysterious professor with a secret that could burn the city to the ground.​Description:Melody Valerius has everything: beauty, wealth, and a family name that keeps the world at her feet. But it’s all a gilded cage. When her father, the ruthless head of the Valerius syndicate, forces her into a marriage with the sadistic Elias Moretti, Melody’s world shatters.​Her only escape is the lecture hall of Saint Jude’s University, where the icy and brilliant Professor Julian Vance watches her every move. To the world, he is a man of books. In reality, he is the Sovereign—the Shadow King who controls the very ground her father walks on.​When a brutal betrayal leaves Julian for dead and Melody at the altar, the mask finally falls. The Professor didn't just come back for his student; he came back for his Queen. Now, the city will learn that when a King goes to war for the woman he loves, there are no survivors.
