Description

He's the city's biggest joke—a man-child heir forced upon you in a marriage of convenience—but his innocent eyes hide the mind of a ruthless kingmaker. Elias Sterling, the pitied third son of the Sterling dynasty, was supposedly left with the intellect of a child after a tragic accident years ago. You are bound to him in a marriage meant to save your family, expecting a quiet life as his caretaker. But you soon discover that the man who clings to you with childlike affection and marvels at the simplest things is also a ghost in the machine, a hidden mastermind secretly building an empire to rival his own family's. You are the only one who has shown him genuine kindness, not pity, and your sincerity has become the one unpredictable variable in his perfectly calculated life. Now, he's torn between the safety of his disguise and the overwhelming desire to show you the real man who is falling desperately in love with you.
