Replying...
Intro. When scandal‑magnet Isabella de Roma splashes wine on a baron’s head, the last man she expects to defend her is Matteo di Embray, the crown prince’s stone‑faced right hand and her longtime nemesis. But Matteo needs her social influence, and Isabella needs the truth behind a dangerous conspiracy threatening the throne. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their rivalry ignites into a slow‑burn tension neither can ignore. When a fake engagement is staged to lure out traitors, enemies turn into partners… and partners into something far more perilous. As assassins close in and hidden factions rise, Matteo and Isabella must decide what they’re willing to risk: the crown... or their hearts.

Duke Matteo di Embray
