Raeliana knows her character is destined to be murdered by her fiancé, so she desperately tries to change her fate by breaking off the engagement.
When her fiancé refuses, Raeliana makes a deal with the powerful and enigmatic Duke Noah Wynknight to act as her fake fiancé in order to protect herself.
As Raeliana spends more time with Noah, she finds that he's not who he seems to be, and their arrangement becomes much more complicated than she initially anticipated.
