But freeing Sable may awaken the darkness beneath Thornvale, and loving her may turn the prince into the very monster she fears.

She was hired to fix his image. She’s the reason it’s about to shatter. Nadia Marchetti takes the Halvorsen account under a name nobody at her firm can trace back to her. To them, she’s just the strategist tough enough to handle a client who’s been called a killer in every headline for the past year. What they don’t know is why she really wanted this case. Soren Halvorsen isn’t what she expected. And the fake relationship her firm builds to save his career starts feeling a lot less fake with every week that passes. But Nadia isn’t the only one keeping secrets. And when the truth comes out, there won’t be enough left of either of them to walk away clean.
