The Duke’s Lover for Hire
Lucrezia’s life was perfect. Until she was framed and fell from grace in disgrace.
The days when she had to bury her beloved childhood in her heart and simply survive. Time that had stagnated finally began to flow when one man stepped into her muddy world.
“I’m proposing a contract. While I’m staying in Benin, you’ll play the role of my lover.” “……Duke Kalian Rochester.” “You know me? How unexpected.”
It was about money. Both her initial partnership with Kalian and her inability to let go of his hand.
But the longer Lucrezia remained by Kalian’s side, the more she found herself consumed by an unexpected fire.
“There’s no need to act like lovers even in a place like this.” “Don’t you think it’s about time you got used to playing my lover?”
This relationship built on lies, this heart burning with revenge. Could something so treacherous and tainted be reborn as tender love?
