Silvia Lauren is the duchess of the Aswan estate and the wife of the bloodthirsty war addict, Duke Victor Aswan. She is also one-month pregnant with Victor’s first child. At least, that’s the facade she has created in order to secretly reside in the duke’s castle while he is away fighting in a war. But when Victor returns from battle much earlier than anticipated, Silvia fears that her intricate lies will all come to light. However, instead of throwing her out of his home right away, Victor decides to go along with her scheme and happily awaits the birth of his nonexistent child—and by happily, it’s more like threateningly. How long will Silvia be able to keep up with her lies and remain by the ruthless duke’s side?
