Mr. and Mrs. Smith meets Beauty and the Beast in this fiery enemies-to-lovers romance. He's married to a cold, opportunistic shrew. Dane, the Duke of Kensington, is having a very bad night. Not only is the musicale he attended exceptionally dull, but the after-party is deadly. Attacked in the dark and nearly murdered, he is unexpectedly saved by the person he hates most in all the world: his wife. She's married to a monster. What do you do when you find your husband bleeding in an abandoned building? Carry him home and tie him to the bed, of course. And she's ready to risk everything for her revenge. Caroline, the Duchess of Kensington, isn't surprised to find her husband in suspicious circumstances. After all, she's already convinced he's a villain, involved in an evil plot of blackmail and slavery, not to mention responsible for her beloved uncle's death. A love born from enmity and strife...more powerful than anything they've known. Forced to call a truce, the duke and duchess must work together to untangle a perilous labyrinth of lies centering around the mysterious society The Shadows. As they spend time together, Caroline starts to fear that the man she married may not be the villain she believed him to be. In the end, the monster in her bed may be the only man who can save her from something even worse than himself.
