Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.
Hugo Alexander.
Philanthropist.
Protector of children no one else will save.
A man not interested in my body, only my talent.
He offers a partnership, not a priceā¦
A gown for his foundation's charity auction.
By day, Hugo and I form a genuine friendship. By night, screams tear through his walls, and I learn the gentlest man in this tower is the most haunted of them all.
But his ghosts aren't the only ones in this house.
I've got secrets, too.
Ones I can't reveal to a single soul.
Because the love of my life isn't dead.
He's gone underground, on the hunt for answers.
And one slip from me could put him back in danger.
A night was all it took.
An unexpected reunion.
One unbreakable rule broken.
Now I'm protecting the most miraculous secret of all.
And the stakes have never been so high.
