Royal Sin

She’s addicted to his darkness, but some love stories are meant to hurt before they heal.

I never meant to fall for him.
It started as a plot—one reckless idea, a lie wrapped in silk and secrets. False names, moments of deception, no consequences. But the moment I met Leonard Baldwin, the rules shattered.
He’s everything my family despises—dangerous, lawless, a man who bends the world to his will. I should have walked away. Found someone else, someone safer. Instead, I slid deeper into the darkness, gave into the stolen touches and whispered promises I could never keep.
But secrets don’t stay buried forever.
When the truth comes out, when he learns who I really am and what I’ve done, will he hate me for the deception… or will he destroy us both trying to hold on?
We were doomed from the start. This love isn’t meant to be.
Not yet.
