“What will your next move be? Use that beautiful face to seduce me?”
In a desperate attempt to save her orphanage from closure, Claire, the daughter of the impoverished Count Erisk, ventures alone into a grand evening soirée. Her target: Damian Voxy, the infamous marquis known for his distaste for women. But Damian’s condition for granting Claire’s wish is anything but ordinary—she must become his “fake lover,” a role meant to ward off unwelcome advances.
What starts as a mere facade soon takes an unexpected turn, as the cold-hearted Damian begins to show a puzzling obsession with Claire.
“Isn’t it only natural for lovers to mark each other with tokens of affection?”
“I’m more worried you’ll lock me away forever.”
This is the story of a poor lady who has long given up on happiness and a ruthless marquis, bound by a loveless contract that blooms into irresistibly sweet and enchanting days.
