Verity was raised to one day be the duchess to the dukes but that’s not how everything worked out. So, when she receives the invitation to the prince ball for the chance to be chosen as their princess, she accepts. Not really expecting to be chosen, she’s completely shocked. Also, she’s shocked that the three princes are the 3 adopted sons of King Ashby. Whitaker (wicker), Pace, and Lagan (lex).
Verity thinks she knows what to expect but she’s not prepared at all for the sexual assault, abuse, degradation, manipulation, nor the feelings that she begins to have toward the men.
—I love these books but they are not for everyone. If you’ve read her other books, you know they tend to get horrifyingly worse before they get better. I don’t like the assault or degradation but I enjoy the inevitable groveling that’s required to make everything right. I enjoy the journey of the characters from trauma riddled ppl inflicting trauma to more open hearted and empathetic lovers.
