She is a courtesan. He is a general.
Seren never wanted this life, but with her father drowning in debt, she had no choice. By day, she dreams of opening a flower shop, inspired by parents. By night, she plays the role of the perfect courtesan-until she's assigned to entertain the infamous General Zephyrion.
Zephyrion has spent his life at war, and now all he wants is peace. He never expected to find solace in the company of a sharp-tongued courtesan, nor did he expect to crave more than just one night. But when Seren refuses to steal from him-defying the orders of her ruthless employer-she pays the price with blood.
Zephyrion won't stand by while she suffers. But in saving her, he destroys the only life she's ever known. With nowhere else to turn, Seren must decide if she'll forge a new path with him or if love is just another cage waiting to trap her.
