For five years, my husband Jackson controlled my life with extreme rules, all under the guise of his "severe mysophobia." Every accidental touch meant hours on my knees, scrubbing marble with burning disinfectant, hands raw and bleeding. I lived isolated, convinced I was a source of "contamination," perpetually seeking his nonexistent approval. Then, a faint perfume on his collar, and a hidden conversation shattered my gilded delusion. His "mysophobia" was a cruel lie, a charade to keep me in line while he entertained his mistress. Worse, he was preparing to auction me, his wife, as an exclusive "Ephemeral Experience" at a high-society gala. He even stripped me naked and locked me in our glass sunroom, a live preview for his laughing cronies next door. The raw, public humiliation swallowed me whole; I was nothing but a commodity to heighten their depravity. How could someone feign such a condition, then orchestrate such a monstrous betrayal, reducing me to an object without a shred of dignity? My despair was absolute, the hope I clung to turning to ash in my mouth. But buried deep within my grandfather's prenup lay a secret clause, a last resort for "egregious betrayal." My trembling fingers reached for the phone, a fragile seed of defiance taking root.

Introduction

For five years, my husband Jackson controlled my life with extreme rules, all under the guise of his "severe mysophobia."

Every accidental touch meant hours on my knees, scrubbing marble with burning disinfectant, hands raw and bleeding.

I lived isolated, convinced I was a source of "contamination," perpetually seeking his nonexistent approval.

Then, a faint perfume on his collar, and a hidden conversation shattered my gilded delusion.

His "mysophobia" was a cruel lie, a charade to keep me in line while he entertained his mistress.

Worse, he was preparing to auction me, his wife, as an exclusive "Ephemeral Experience" at a high-society gala.

He even stripped me naked and locked me in our glass sunroom, a live preview for his laughing cronies next door.

The raw, public humiliation swallowed me whole; I was nothing but a commodity to heighten their depravity.

How could someone feign such a condition, then orchestrate such a monstrous betrayal, reducing me to an object without a shred of dignity?

My despair was absolute, the hope I clung to turning to ash in my mouth.

But buried deep within my grandfather's prenup lay a secret clause, a last resort for "egregious betrayal."

My trembling fingers reached for the phone, a fragile seed of defiance taking root.

THEY COULDN'T BE TOGETHER AT THE START. ARE THEY DESTINED TO STAY APART UNTIL THE END? She's the heir to the throne, yet her heart is calling after something else... Princess Reida's academic pursuit takes her on a journey to Incanta – a world inhabited by witches, wizards, dragon shifters, wraiths, and irascibles. While her mind is broadened and mystified just as she'd hoped, developing feelings for a certain wizard was not part of her plan, especially not when he is her professor. He's no stranger to injustice, but the biggest one may be his undoing... Professor Theodore Ischyrós is ambitious and accomplished in a way few beings are. He keeps his past close at all times and has learned to mistrust and doubt almost everyone. The moment he laid eyes on her he knew he'd been struck by magic. The moment she began speaking he knew he was done for. He's determined to keep professional lines clear until she graduated. But when that day comes, would she be available for him to pursue? She's a princess – the heir to the lycan throne, and his best friend's cousin. And things only get worse when the heir to Incanta's throne seems to be after her hand as well. Will Theodore be able to convince Reida to choose him, or are they destined to stay behind professional lines forever, being within reach but never together? This is BOOK FOUR of the series but can be read as a standalone. *** BOOK ONE: The 5-Time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King BOOK TWO: The Rogues Who Went Rogue BOOK THREE: The Indomitable Huntress & the Hardened Duke
