A cursed duke marries the woman who saved his daughter to survive his affliction.
Duke Cassian Thorne endures a supernatural compulsion that only Aveline's proximity can calm. When she pulls his daughter from mortal danger, their paths lock together. Fresh from a dissolved marriage that left her unmoored, Aveline accepts Cassian's proposal: a contractual union granting him the physical closeness required to function and restoring the stability she lost. The arrangement forces them into shared domestic space, where necessity masquerades as intimacy and every interaction tests the boundary between survival and something neither anticipated.
