Cassian Vance is used to taking whatever he desires. Right now, he desires her more than anything he's ever owned. Because she isn't a scholarship student, he can't allow her to stand above him; he must find a way to bring her down without ever showing his hand. But before his plans can mature, a single piece of news shatters his control: he is required to marry her. A week with any woman sounds like a chore, but a lifetime with a spoiled heiress sounds like a punishment. Vera, who came to Ashford University seeking freedom from responsibility, now feels the full, crushing weight of an engagement to him. They are bound to spend the next month together, planning a wedding amidst the simmering tension between them.
