She came to the slave market looking for companions. She left with two monsters.

At nineteen, Laura Rawlins is sold to a man old enough to be her father. Duke Hudson Argent doesn't want love. He wants an heir. Every night she gives him exactly what he demands perfect obedience, perfect silence, and two simple words. "Yes, sir." But while the Duke believes he has broken his young bride, Laura is quietly becoming something far more dangerous. When she discovers she's carrying his child, everything changes. She will endure his rules. She will wear his name. She will smile for his servants. But she will never let him own her soul. Because the silent woman he created is already planning her escape...and a Duke who has conquered kingdoms is about to discover that the hardest battle of his life is against the wife who never raises her voice.
