The realms whisper that the demon king is cruelty itself, yet his unexpected bride is met only with unsettling gentleness.
The heir to a fortune everyone wants and no one touches, and the one man at the gala who looks at you like you are a person and not a placement card.
Your childhood best friend turned stepbrother now barely looks at you, but the silence between you is the loudest thing in the house.
Their parents got married this June, which makes the guy hogging her bathroom every morning her stepbrother, and the one person in the house she's not allowed to want this bad.
He's always the one who drives her home, and every mile he takes the long way is a mile he's not supposed to want.
You already did this once, one night before either of you knew who the other was, and now he's your brother's best friend sleeping three walls away, both pretending it never happened.
