A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington
University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him
fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not
get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is
always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t
buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago.
Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion
resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another
man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m
nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the
matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew
I’d break them. Consequences be damned.

Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he
was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at
escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind
myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held.
Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win
unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice … and even that
may not be enough.
