Shanice Little knows her place. As a maid at Lowood Hall, she exists in the shadows, scrubbing soot and avoiding the sharp gaze of the housekeeper. But her father's sins have cast a long shadow, and the debt he owes is far greater than a lifetime of wages could ever repay.Prince Darius Scott arrives with the weight of the crown and a demand for an heir. He is arrogant, commanding, and captivated by the quiet defiance in the maid's eyes. He offers a solution to clear the debt, but the price is Shanice herself. She is to be taken from the servants' quarters, groomed in silk, and prepared for the royal bedchamber.What begins as a cold transaction quickly ignites into a scandalous affair. Behind closed doors, the prince demands more than just duty; he demands her complete surrender.As the corset is unlaced and social boundaries shatter, Shanice discovers that being bred for the crown brings a pleasure as dangerous as it is forbidden.
