Abused and shunned as an “ugly monster,” she has spent her entire life hiding her face behind a mask. Then, unexpectedly, Duke Adel—the flawless head of the prestigious Crestia family—proposes marriage to her.
She believes he wants nothing from her except her body and the rich, intoxicating “blood” that flows through her veins.
But Adel’s overwhelming devotion slowly melts the walls around her wounded heart.
Bound by the trauma they each carry, the two repeatedly find themselves caught in a frustrating and heartbreaking cycle of misunderstandings.
