About this listen

She was meant to be a transaction. He decided to make her his desire.

For Lord Edmund, marriage to Lady Annabel is nothing but a strategic move—a flawless arrangement to further his political ambitions. Innocent, obedient, and schooled in rigid propriety, she is the perfect façade. But the moment he sees not just fear, but quiet curiosity in her eyes, cold calculation begins to give way to something far more dangerous.

He will be her first man.

Her only tutor in the secrets of the marital bed.

He will teach her body to respond to his touch—and her soul to yearn for more.

Raised in a world of silence and shame, Annabel is unprepared for the temptations that await behind the closed door of the bedchamber. Every caress becomes a forbidden lesson. Every whispered word—a sweet poison unraveling everything she thought she knew.

But the longer this dangerous game of seduction plays out, the blurrier the lines become.

Who is the teacher now, and who the willing pupil?

And what happens when a man who sought only power discovers his own heart held captive by the very woman he awakened?

A story of sensual awakening, forbidden desire, and love that arrives when least expected—where even the strictest rules exist only to be broken.
