An exiled aristocrat hides ruthless ambition behind a sibling facade to reclaim his adopted sister from a arranged marriage.
Alexander Creston was banished after his forbidden bond with Vivian, the orphan raised beside him, ignited scandal. Three years later he reappears at the ducal estate, where she is now legally promised to a stranger. He plays the part of the loyal brother with unsettling ease, all while dismantling the family's power structure from within. The tension rests on the gap between his gentle performance and the calculated moves that bring him closer to controlling the dukedom — and to the woman he was forbidden to love.
