About this book

In the kingdom of Albion, fragrance is more than an art; it is a weapon. The ancient Rosebourne family possesses the fairy-blessed ability to weave magic into perfume, manipulating the minds and emotions of all who inhale it. Viola Lockwood, the last of this lineage, lives in the shadows, illegitimate and overlooked until a royal murder plunges the throne into chaos.

To secure the kingdom’s stability, the ruthless royal spymaster Hugh Thornton forces Viola out of hiding. Their alliance is forged in mutual resentment—Hugh imprisoned her to ensure her cooperation, and Viola intends to use this mission to claim the fortune she was long denied. Together, they must venture into Albion’s treacherous underbelly to recover the final ingredient for "Immortal Rose," a legendary scent with the power to alter the course of the monarchy.

As they navigate a web of royal intrigue and lethal attempts on Viola’s life, their antagonistic chemistry ignites into a scorching, slow-burn passion. Yet, the closer they come to perfecting the perfume, the clearer it becomes that the kingdom’s survival requires a devastating sacrifice. Bound by a dangerous bargain, Hugh and Viola must decide how much of their souls they are willing to surrender for power and love.
