About the book: 2018 / Aristocrat Emilia Timmons is pretty and proud. Her ambitions extend much further than the sympathy for her of Maximilian Rovere, an unsociable widower who has gained bad fame. Having laughed at his feelings, she could not have imagined that one day fate would play a cruel joke. And very soon it will be his turn to laugh at the girl who is stuck in the web of other people’s intrigues. “I could carry you in my arms, but instead I will mix you with dirt. When I decide that I have taken my full share, you will have neither freedom, nor fortune, nor even a name.” The cover design uses photos from shutterstock. Contains obscene language.
