She bears scars deeper than any can see. He might be the one to heal them—or break her completely.

After a tragic fire claims her parents and leaves her both physically and emotionally scarred, Fiona McKenzie retreats from a world that has only ever resented her. Inheriting a vast fortune doesn't fill the emptiness in her heart, and the whispers only deepen her isolation.

Seeking refuge, Fiona moves to the King's castle, hoping the royal couple will help her find a suitable match. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces, she feels more exposed than ever—until she meets Anthony McDonald.

Anthony, a battle-hardened warrior who turns heads wherever he goes, sees beyond Fiona's scars. For the first time, she feels a flicker of happiness and safety. But doubts linger. Everyone warns she's just another conquest, and her fragile heart can't bear another break.

As she pushes away every suitor, her connection with Anthony deepens. Caught between trust and fear, Fiona faces an impossible choice.

Will she risk everything for a chance at true love, or will her fears keep her hidden forever?
