_Balinor_

Lady Rhea Montgomery, Countess of Riverian has the perfect life.
A wonderful, powerful husband who rules his county with dignity and honour. Enough wealth to keep her dressed in the finest of silks and decked in jewels to enhance her radiant beauty. And people who love her as their beloved Countess.
Life is perfect, until suddenly it isn't and Rhea loses everything to a woman younger and more capable.
Becoming no one after being someone is almost too much to bear and just when Rhea resigns herself to her fate, along comes Lord Augustus Holloway, Duke of Ravenholm.
Everything she has heard about the powerful and dangerous man says to stay away but his sweet fondness for her says otherwise.
Augustus seduces Rhea into his frightening yet exciting world and leaves her questioning whether she could be someone without Lanon, and if her connection to him is worth the chaos it brings into her once peaceful life.
Rhea had once been a merchant's daughter and then a Countess. If she played the game right, and she damn well will, she could become a Duchess or maybe even Queen.

Lord Holloway's Adored Lady: Climbing The Ranks After Divorce

Ravenholm was an endless sea of architectural and technological splendour that Rhea had little time to enjoy caught in Apollonia's passion.

After a long three hours on the road, every second of which left the blue-eyed woman missing the smallness of Riverian, they finally arrived at their destination.

Chevalier Avenue, one of the most influential commercial hubs of Euthoria's business climate, made its renown clear as they arrived at the entrance.

The large street was so densely occupied by customers and businesses alike that all five of them, the two guards included, were forced to continue thier journey on foot.

Stepping past the large archway that marked the beginning of the street, Rhea could see businesses selling all manner of things, both normal and strange to a County woman whose closest experience to Chevalier Avenue was the weekly farmer's market back home.
