…
Dominic Reid is a powerful tycoon, a man far beyond Vespera's reach.
She never intends to provoke him, yet fate keeps throwing them together.
At a grand banquet, she drunkenly tugs at his tie by accident. Instead of pulling away, he leans in, his voice low and teasing against her ear. "Your ex-husband is watching. Are you sure you want to be this… bold?" 

In every fairytale story, fate always brings the prince charming and his pretty damsel together, ending with true love.
But mine was the exact opposite.
It was a dark and disgusting tale that would make the world turn its backs on me, even more so than already. It was a tale that couldn’t be retold to any innocent little girl.
For, in my own story, I had drugged my prince charming with a love potion and I had no idea when or how soon it would it would wear off.
Keagan had never been interested in me. Hell, I had no doubt he didn’t know that I existed. After all, who would be interested in a lowly omega maid like me, the weakest in rank? Definitely not my Alpha.

But a life as an Unloved Luna definitely beats one as a washed-up, raped, and abused Omega…right?
