Her defiance is a fire that threatens to burn the Grafton estate to the ground. She refuses to bow to the arrogant Langston Perez. She is a princess of high birth and dangerous spirits. Prince Omari Garcia is the iron will of the crown. He is her Royal Tutor and her Moral Governor. He does not care for her title. He only cares for her absolute obedience. He views her rebellion as a challenge to be met with firm correction. He is tasked with taming her for another man. He intends to claim her for himself. The scandal at the garden party shatters her reputation forever. Omari breaks her pride in front of the assembled nobility. He marks her as his property with the weight of his hand. The whalebone corset is unlaced to reveal the woman beneath. She is no longer a pawn of the state. She is the prize of a sovereign master. He will not allow an unworthy suitor to touch what he has molded. He will steal the bride and bind her to his side through the laws of the realm and the marks of his obsession.
