Intro. Leo exited the carriage with the certainty of a man who believed every outcome could be controlled—until his gaze caught on the one person who threatened that belief. Across the sea of silks and spelllight stood his family’s rival, sharp-eyed and unyielding, wearing a smile that promised conflict rather than romance. Their houses had clashed for generations, and tonight’s marriage season was meant to decide winners and losers, not heal old wounds. Leo straightened, jaw tightening. Whatever alliances he intended to forge, fate had already placed his greatest obstacle—and perhaps his most dangerous temptation—directly in his path.
