What sort of witchcraft was that?

Her closed eyes snapped open, and she was met with his smoldering dark gaze, her eyelids slowly slid closed once more as he continued to devour her.

'Embrace me in your mind, just as you have in your body and heart.'

She shook her head, but his hands pressed against her cheek, limiting her ability to move her neck the way she desired.

'I know you like this. I can hear it in your heartbeat. I can taste it.'

The Archduke of Lanark was blessed with two daughters, his eldest was the most beautiful Lady in the kingdom, while the youngest, Adelaide, held a special place in his heart.

Life for the noble family was about to undergo a profound shift.

With the revolution threatening the aristocrats of Emoria, their Monarch demanded they part with a significant portion of their wealth to appease the people. As a result, Adelaide's proud father found himself facing financial hardships that pushed him into deep debt.

Just as despair gripped the family, a mysterious stranger arrived in town, igniting fervent discussions among the nobility with his considerable fortune and flawless etiquette. To their astonishment, this stranger paid off the Archduke's debt, becoming involved in their lives in more ways than one.

Egon von Conradie, the wealthy commoner, had a hidden agenda. But his perfect plan faced an unforeseen obstacle—he had not anticipated falling for the daughter of his mortal enemy. 

Only Adelaide, a rare Healer, had the power to captivate a unique Beast like Egon.
