Marriage, debt, and a secret society

Set against the world of Barrington University’s elite, the novel builds its romance around a marriage shaped by family control and a secret society’s rules. The heroine expects to wed a man chosen by her parents, but on her wedding day she is handed to Tyson Riley Crawford, whose motives are tied to revenge and an unpaid debt. Their vows become a point of conflict as she seeks escape and he seeks to keep her bound to him. The publisher notes a dual point of view and flags possessive, over-the-top hero behavior; trigger warnings are listed inside the book.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers interested in dark romance with suspense elements.
  • For readers drawn to secret-society settings, arranged marriage, and revenge-driven relationship conflicts.
  • For readers who prefer romance told from dual points of view and are comfortable checking in-book trigger warnings.

An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier

 

HIS LADY

 

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady's job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

 

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

 

I was to wed a Lord of my parents' choosing. Wealth can't buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

 

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man-an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.

 

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I'm nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn't have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I'd break them. Consequences be damned.

 

Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn't realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He'll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

 

Yet even he couldn't have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we're all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you're willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice ... and even that may not be enough.
