Secrets, bargains, and ambition...Love was never part of the plan.

I'm a complicated woman.

Human rights attorney. Commander to my colleagues. Fiancee to the most powerful man in the country.

No one knows our arrangement is a devil's bargain.

I learned long ago love is a useless distraction. Money and status are the true motivators. Powerful alliances are more important than romantic entanglements.

My passion is my work, and nothing, not even the promise of happily-ever-after, will keep me from accomplishing my mission.

This is why I agreed to stand by the man who shattered my heart years ago.

He wants a dynasty. I want an empire. All we have to do is fool the whole world.

I am Tara Zain. And my secrets could burn this country down.
