A stormy night. An overturned carriage. A manor in the middle of the woods. Nine strange men occupied its halls. Clara Beaumont thought she had found sanctuary in the chaos. But then she becomes trapped with the manor, unable to leave. A dangerous secret haunts this estate. Discovering it might either be her saving grace or it could lead to the last breath she'll ever take.

The proud countess of Montargis finds herself in a loop, uncertain, and inarguably thrown out of countenance when a lady's maid suddenly struts into her life unbidden.

“You can’t have the Hong heir,” his father snapped. Eyes blazing, he scowled. “That omega isn’t worthy of your time!”

“Prince Joshua,” he grinned, flashing his teeth. “How is the Benevolent White Prince doing?” He titled his chin at the drink the bartender placed in front of Joshua. “Excuse my impertinence but I thought a sweet drink would bring a smile to your face. The stony look doesn’t do your beauty justice.”

All Joshua wanted was this promise to be fulfilled. His world comes crashing down when it doesn't. Now he needs to find some way to fix this.
