Married off to Alexander, the dreaded warlord of Arethon, Iris braces for a lonely, loveless life. Convinced his icy distance means he despises her body, she keeps her curves hidden and endures the pain in silence. Yet Alexander is not repelled at all—he is struggling to control a desire far stronger than his battle-hardened pride. As Iris heals him with her skills and exposes the political scheme behind his ruined reputation, their guarded marriage begins to crack. From a desperate union on the brink of death, an unstoppable romance erupts.
