The Portrait of Pride

Sent into the lion's den, Diana is ordered to infiltrate the imperial chambers under a deceptive cover: "He wants a blind maid for his bed."

The political schemers behind the plot assure her the Crown Prince is a soft-hearted, delicate fool easily swayed by a fragile woman. Her mission? Blind his senses, block his ears, and keep him unsuspecting until the blade falls on his neck.
But the moment she enters his bedchamber, Diana realizes a lethal mistake was made. Drowned in overwhelming, terrifying pleasure under his touch, she screams a silent warning to her handlers: You were wrong. There is no gentle prince here—only the most cruel, intoxicating devil to ever wear a crown.
