The Prince's Forbidden Chamber

Within the Winter Palace lies a chamber no servant may enter, and its master, a prince whose grip on reason seems fragile, delights in small cruelties. He deliberately knocks over his wine so that a maid is forced to kneel and clean the mess at his feet. Their uneasy bond, forged in humiliation and secrecy, becomes the heart of a story where fate keeps pulling two wounded people together despite everything that divides them.
