From the world of The Duke's Masked Bride. The King recalled Sir Rafael from the border, and years later he arrived at the palace with a fiancée no one could explain. This is how that happened — and why the woman on his arm was sent to kill a king. Annalise scrubs floors at midnight and answers to a name that is not her own. The Callahan manor believes it has hired a servant. It has not. Then the young master comes home — the kingdom's knight commander, the King's closest friend, and the last man who can afford to look at her twice. She has a mission and a deadline. Neither survives contact with him.
