Isabelle Baudelaire.

Noble Princess, the third child and only daughter of Duke Florentin Baudelaire, with the title of Countess.

22 years old.

Dimitri Delacroix.

Noble Prince, Duke of the Delacroix Duchy, only son of the retired Duchess Genevieve Delacroix that came to be after her one-night stand with Marquis Olivier Carpentier.

26 years old.

Two free-spirited people, with lots of bad rumors on their backs.

She is the most hated noble Lady in the Kingdom, for being overbearing and straightforward in a Royal society where women are condemned for such. But possessing a secret that could make her get under the spotlight of not only her Kingdom but the world. All of that because she's the writer of the most famous fantasy-romance series of books in the world, under a male alias.

While he's the biggest fan of her books, without having the slightest idea of who she actually is.

Before her mother died because of an incurable disease when she was a child, her mother, late Duchess Adelaide and Dimitri's mother were best friends from childhood, but after that tragedy, their Houses lost contact. However, they didn't have memories of each other anymore.

Until they met again when Duke Baudelaire and the retired Duchess Delacroix contacted each other, and Isabelle's father invited them to spend the winter season in their manor at Desmoulins, the Royal Capital.

Little did they know what that would cause...

Right from the beginning, Isabelle and Dimitri hated each other. There was no helping them out, they were bound to loathe each other to death.

That is... if the dangerous attraction they also felt for one another wasn't stronger than that.

IMPORTANT!!! 

It's a dark historical fictional romance, so be aware that this novel has lots of triggers. Such as cursing, life threats, deaths, torture, manipulation, psychological abuse, and mention of sexual activities.

If you are underaged or sensitive to those, I suggest that you think carefully before getting into the story.

The novel won't be so long compared to the others I'm still writing.

Dangerous Attraction

YES, I KNOW. I'M PLAYING WITH FIRE BY having Dimitri, of all people, as my escort. Especially when I'm very aware that, besides our bickering, we are dangerously attracted to each other. Which was very clear when I felt like kissing him right there, in front of everybody, and that's why I needed to get away from him.


It was quite amusing to see how he seemed as frustrated as I was when I said that to him. I hate to admit but it's attractive to see him blushing like that just because I said something. And I think we made each other very clear about what going on between us from the moment I went back to his chambers to now.


"So, what's going on?" Josephine asked with a silly grin. "I'm genuinely surprised that you came with His Grace, of all people, to the ball."


I felt my cheeks getting hot again and bit my bottom lip, "Don't think too much of it. I'm using him to make someone who despise the idea of us near each other, pissed."
