Amelia was born as an illegitimate daughter of a noble household. As an unwanted child, she spent her days starving—surviving on weeds plucked from the garden.

Until one day, a marriage proposal arrives.
Her fiancé is none other than Duke Logan—the infamous “Brutal Duke” feared by all.
Why her? What does he want?
Can a girl who has only ever known cruelty… survive a love that feels just as dangerous?
