In the remote estate's echoing hall, Willa Hendricks meets the broad-chested duke who will claim her through a marriage that requires her full yielding. Bram Frost's measured silences mask the wound that keeps him isolated, yet his need to dictate her every sensation draws her closer despite the terror of being cast aside.

The dark silk he keeps in the drawer is meant for her eyes. He gives the quiet order to remain still, and she remains. With sight removed, every touch will burn hotter. Her yielding is the only path to the belonging she craves and the control he refuses to relinquish.

How far will the blindfold and his commands pull her before the rite exposes them both to ruin?
