Five years ago, I made a deal with the devil. My father. A ruler in this city who wields his power with an iron fist. He raised me for one purpose and one purpose only.To marry a man he chose. No exceptions. No alternate options. And no ability to choose. In exchange for my silence and eager submission, he offered me five years of freedom. I jumped at the chance to experience that kind of life. Now my time is up. Tomorrow, the man I promised to marry will arrive and everything I've built will come crumbling down. He expects my willing submission and rightfully so. It is what I have vowed. My heart however…Belongs to another man.I may not know his name...But I do know what it feels like to be in front of him, on my knees, waiting for his command. After weeks of secret nights and promises not to get attached, I don't want to walk away. When he learns the truth, however, I'll have no other choice. My name is Catherine Novaline Cullotta and I am about to be sacrificed to the mob.
