When Survival is the goal, Elara could not be a chooser. So, when she got the chance to hide herself as a new nanny in the house of the infamous duke of Assedon, Cedric Blackthrone Frostbane, she accepted it easily.
But old habits die hard. Her fearless nature, compassion for weak and burning eyes for justice were hard to hide as a simple paramour of the duke. Especially when he paid extra attention to this irresistible sexy woman and soon found himself entangled in the cruel games of politics, betrayal and vengeance. 
But what she did not know, he was masters at those games and though she thought she had hidden all that from him, he was the puppeteer behind the scenes.
What could go wrong in that perfect game? Would they walk on the path of revenge or become each other’s weakness and lose the battle where weakness is not allowed.
A/n: The story starts with Dom/sub relationship and unequal power between fl and ml. It was a part of BDSM and had a lot of sensuous scenes.

Scandalized Nights Of Duke's Palace

"Why do you want to make the duke jealous?" he asked, forgetting that he was treated as a bard or worse like a servant for the first time in his life. It didn't matter that he dressed like one all the time. Everyone knew he was a man not to be trifled with even if they did not know his identity. "Do you think he will take you as his duchess if you act in front of him?" the words were asked in a teasing tone.

But his eyes looked at her with pity. The girl was no doubt beautiful. Too bad that she had big dreams. If she had lived as a lover, perhaps, Cedric had kept her for a long time.

"I do not want your advice or questions. Either you want the offer or not?" she cut him with a sharp glare. It did not feel arrogant but dismissive as if she had enough of him. Not because he was a servant but he did not agree with her.

She would have told the king the same words if needed. His lips twitched at that thought.
