Estelle, the daughter of a count whose title has been suspended, has lived a sheltered life in a convent. One day, her distant uncle drags her to a ball and commands her to seduce the Naval Duke Gerald to restore her family’s status. Though she is unfamiliar with romantic schemes, she gives it her best shot — and Gerald surprisingly responds with interest. “Tonight, I want to monopolize you.” During their first passionate kiss, Gerald presses himself over Estelle, leaving her breathless and confused. A lie turned into attraction, and a fragile, sweet romance begins. What started as a coerced seduction may become genuine love. Can Estelle survive intrigue, scandal, and her own timid heart—and emerge as Gerald’s destined wife? https://www.cmoa.jp/title/329640/
