The Sacrifice

At Barrington University, a Lord’s future is strictly mandated by the secret society, requiring him to marry a Lady who will help him navigate a world unaware of their elite, violent hidden life. While these men rarely choose their own partners, a startling exception is made when a young woman, raised in the gilded prison of her parents' mansion, is handed over on her wedding day to Tyson Riley Crawford, a ruthless Lord her family despises.

Originally intended for another, she becomes a mere pawn in Tyson’s quest for revenge, a debt to be paid in a high-stakes game of power. Though she recites her vows with the secret intent to break them, she quickly realizes she has underestimated her new husband’s determination to punish her defiance. In a world where everyone is a pawn, they both discover that the only way to win is through an ultimate sacrifice that still might not be enough to save them.
