“does it ever drive you crazy,

just how fast the night changes?”

All poor Ori desperately wanted was to be a Knight under the Empire and provide for her struggling family. But, who would have thought that getting entangled with the enigmatic Duke's demands would make her a contracted Duchess instead?

Will Ori end up being a pawn in the Duke's game or will she play with his heart instead?

Or, in which, a calm and vengeful duke joins hands with a naive yet stubborn pesant girl to act as his secret duchess and intrigue the evil empress out of her lair and make her go mad. Featuring: misadventures, agressive pinning, and a consistently cute way of addressing eachother.

“...wisdom can rule only in an element dominated by falsehood.”

Substituting her rebellious cousin in a contract marriage her grandfather made before his death, Megan Holland is the definition of the most disgruntled woman on earth. Not only did she have to put the relationship she’d waited six years for the man she was in love with to notice her on hold to marry a man who hates her for something she’s positive her cousin didn’t do; his daughter avoids her like the black plague itself, all the servants in her new house treats her like she’s Cruella and someone out there is purposely making things difficult for her. Being a replacement wife is hard!
