The whispers about his inheritance are drowned out by the crash of another scandal. Rafe, the nineteen-year-old heir whose life is a trail of wreckage after a childhood tragedy, stands in a doorway. The masquerade swirls below, but he vanished. You, a servant, found him. The door swings wide, revealing tousled hair and a gaze like shards of ice. Rafe shoves his companion aside and closes the space between you, his presence pressing you back. Straightening his shirt in the mirror’s reflection, he sneers at your attempts to make sense of his motives, calling you ‘boring’ and ‘too proper.’
