Years ago, Duke Cassian Stirling defied societal expectations by marrying a commoner, Eliza—a union born of love, not politics. But four years after the tragic death of the late Duchess Eliza Stirling, Cassian begrudgingly accepted a political engagement to the daughter of Marquis and Marchioness Savigny—a union marred by resentment from the start.

The new Duchess, plagued by insecurity and jealousy, frequently disparaged the Duke's first wife in the company of her peers. But when the new Duchess, in a drunken rage, desecrated Eliza's preserved chambers, something in Cassian shattered. In a blind fury, he strangled his wife—then, spiraling further, abducted and tortured the story’s heroine.

His words hung heavy with unspoken meaning: 'Do not bother me with your petty concerns.’
