The Princess and Her Knight

Desperate to escape a political marriage orchestrated by her treacherous uncle, Princess Olivia allies with Mason, a loyal guard she once saved. She manufactures a scandal by seducing him to break her engagement, a plan that succeeds at a cruel cost: Mason is brutally beaten and exiled. Three years later, Olivia is still trapped in her engagement, fighting for her rightful inheritance. At a high-stakes auction, her fiancé bids for a legendary jewel, only to be outbid by a mysterious masked nobleman with an offer of a million gold coins. Olivia chases the stranger, rips off his mask, and finds herself staring into the hardened eyes of Mason—the man she used and ruined, now returned in power and splendor.
