Consumed by grief and rage, Edith teeters on the edge of madness. The Reynolds household, responsible for her mother’s death, has branded her a madwoman, leaving her powerless and seething with a thirst for vengeance. Then fate offers her a chance, marriage to Duke Myers, the third prince rumored to be perfect in every way. It’s a marriage of convenience, each intends to use the other, but Edith harbors a darker purpose. ‘If I can craft a hell so subtle that you never see it coming, I will stop at nothing. Smile while you can, Reynolds.’ With every step, Edith paves a path that will lead them straight into the flames of ruin. --- Edith—who lost her mother at the hands of the Reynolds marquis family—was branded a madwoman. She dreams of vengeance, but a chance comes to the powerless: marriage to the third prince, Duke Myers, who is rumored to be perfect in every way. It’s a marriage of convenience meant to use one another, and that’s fine. If I can make you live through hell without even knowing it’s hell, I will do whatever it takes. Keep smiling, Reynolds. Until I have paved the road to the very fires of hell right before you.
