Your Grace, There Was No Romance in the Contract

‘You said that you needed me, but what do I stand to gain by marrying you?’
‘Me? Because I’m pretty?’

That was the moment Lizette Trianne summoned the greatest courage of her life, standing before Killian Cedric’s indifferent gaze.

The man who had mercilessly rejected her marriage proposal had returned.

‘The proposal you made me, is it still valid?’

And so began the contract between the two of them, sparked by his inexplicable change of heart.
But this man…

‘Would you mind not standing so close to my lover?’
‘Have Lizzie’s belongings brought to my room.’

There hadn’t been a single mention of actual romance in their contract.
Yet Killian Cedric was far too affectionate.
He was so gentle, so attentive, that Lizette simply couldn’t believe that every bit of it was an act.
