Violet’s life was never her own—her father’s crushing debt made sure of that. But when the debt collector comes to carve a payment from her body, she takes a desperate deal: become a servant and spy on the mysterious and tyrannical Lord Cain, the ruler of her Werewolf district.
There’s just one catch: Lord Cain permits only male servants in his house.

Disguised as a boy, Violet cuts her hair, flattens her chest, and dons a voice-altering band to pull off the deception. Everything is going according to plan—until Cain, a man known for his cold and unwavering authority, starts to take a peculiar interest in her.

Violet’s disguise becomes a prison of its own as she battles her own growing attraction to him. But this is no love story. Cain’s obsession to her is dangerous. Beneath cold allure lies a darkness Violet can’t ignore, a mind fractured by years of affliction by a curse.

A curse made by Violet's biological mother: A powerful witch.

"TAKE IT OFF!"

Violet’s knees nearly buckled at the thunderous command, her chest tightening with panic. The raw anger in Cain’s voice was as sharp as a blade.

"My lord! I-I’m a man!" she stammered, gripping her shirt tightly, her fingers trembling as they clung to the fabric.

"I don't like other men!" she cried, a desperate plea in her voice since the second she took her shirt off and he discovered that she was a woman was the moment she died. Painfully.

Her breath hitched as he stepped closer, his presence suffocating. "If you don’t take it off," he said, his tone low and dangerous, "I’ll rip it off myself."

Violet’s mind raced, panic threatening to overwhelm her. She couldn’t let him find out—he’d kill her. Painfully.
Glancing away to avoid his gaze when she caught the undeniable bulge in his trousers. Heat flushed her face, her thoughts spinning in desperation at the only idea she could think of to make him back off.

'This has to work. It has to!'

Mated to the Mad Lord

"Viole!" Cain's voice snapped her waning attention back to where he rested against the tree, still bleeding. "You keep looking at the walls like you're planning to run!" A trace of anger laced his tone, fury flashing in his eyes as he spoke.

Violet stiffened, unable to say a word as she struggled to hold his gaze. Her eyes darted toward his shoulder as she spoke, desperate to change the topic.

"You're still wounded… you need to get inside. Do you know why you're not healing as fast as you should?" she asked, only to get no response. Cain continued to stare at her, his piercing gaze unrelenting, even as she fixed her own firmly on the ground.

A few moments of tense silence passed before Violet managed to speak again. "I can get a guard to—"

"I'm weak right now! All it takes is one werewolf to kill me!" Cain responded, his voice low and somber. Violet nodded, though her eyes strayed again and again to the gate.
