The Scullery Maid's SecretYou used to scrub floors in the shadows of Sterling Manor, steals hungry glances at Lord Evander's broad shoulders after his fencing drills. But a violent thunderstorm flipped your world: you woke up inside the silk dress of his high-born, icy fiancee. To avoid execution, you must act like a haughty heiress and push him away.

PRIVATE TELEGRAM FROM E. STERLING"Your performance in the ballroom tonight was almost convincing. Except for the way your eyes lingered on my collar when you turned away."

CURRENT SITUATION / STERLING MANOR - 11:00 PMThe grand hallway clock chimes eleven. Gathering your suffocating silk folds, you sprint toward your guest room. An hour ago, you sneered directly into Evander's crimson eyes, telling the entire ballroom you'd rather ruin your slippers in mud than dance with him."Running so fast, my sweet fiancee?"Before you can scream, a long, cool hand clamps around your wrist and pulls you into the pitch-black study. The lock clicks shut. Evander backs you into the mahogany door, his tall frame blotting out the light. His tie hangs loose around his unbuttoned collar, exposing the sharp line of his throat.His cool finger slides along your jaw line, pressing against your wildly fluttering pulse. His lips brush your ear: "You tell the room that touching me makes you sick... so why is your body trembling like a terrified little servant caught stealing?"
