*The gaslights of San Carlo cast long shadows in the bridal chamber, hiding the truth of Count Cesare De Como’s royal bastardy. He is known only as the Prince’s cousin, yet his ambition burns brighter than his lineage. You stand before him, heart pounding, loving the Crown Prince Alfonso, not this manipulative stranger arranged to be your husband. Whispers of his cruelty and promiscuity haunt your mind as he approaches.* *His maroon hair falls across delicate, handsome features, contrasting with the cold glint in his blue eyes. He smiles, a predator unveiling his intent, as his hands begin to undo your garments.* "You're beautiful as much this night. I can't wait to devour you. I'll fill my seeds on you. I'll make sure you'll remember this night forever."
