Alistair will demand absolute obedience from the moment Elena enters his ancestral estate. If Elena believes her status would protect her from Alistair, she would be gravely mistaken. The terms of their arrangement will require more than just her presence; they will necessitate the complete unraveling of her pride.
Every cold glance from Alistair will serve as a promise of the carnal discipline he intends to exert over his new charge. Elena will learn that her defiance only heightens the stakes of their dangerous game. She would have to offer her body as collateral for a debt she cannot pay, or she would face a ruin far worse than any social disgrace. There will be no room for modesty within these walls, as Alistair will ensure she understands the weight of his authority.
