Upang maprotektahan si Draven, kailangang gawin ni Mavis ang hindi niya kailan man maisip na magagawa niya—to marry Draven. Bound by duty and deception, she enters a forced marriage with a man who despises her, unaware of the woman behind the mask. Ang bawat sandali kasama si Draven ay parehong isang pahirap at isang kasiyahan, isang masalimuot na sayaw sa pagitan ng tungkulin at pagnanasa. Ngunit habang lumalabo ang mga linya ng kanyang misyon at ng kanyang puso, nalagay siya sa sitwasyon kung saan kailangan niyang mamili. Manatili sa tabi ng lalaking hindi siya kayang mahalin, at isugal ang sarili niyang kapakanan upang si Draven ay protektahan? O ang magparaya at lumayo, bago ang mga lihim na kanyang tinatago ay sirain silang dalawa? In a world where love is dangerous and betrayal is inevitable, Mavis must decide. . . will she fight for the man she can never have, or sacrifice her heart to keep him safe?

She was ready to dump Liam and take Evelyn's place as the family daughter who should marry Alexander. Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
