Life was mediocre for Amara until her Master brought a proposal for her or more like, it was an order: she was to marry the wicked Lord Damien. Refusal was out of the question for her, as she was merely a slave —a servant burdened by her parents' debts. Just when all hope seemed lost, and she resigned herself to her fate, a mysterious man shows up in front of her, kills the evil old lord, kidnaps her brother, and gives her certain tasks to complete. If she doesn't, then he will kill her brother. As Amara embarks on her journey to save her brother, she finds herself in the clutches of a handsome prince - a devil prince. Despite the danger that surrounds him, she is instantly drawn to his captivating charms. As she struggles to fulfill the tasks set by the mysterious man, her heart is pulled in two directions. On one hand, she feels an undeniable attraction to the devil prince; on the other, she is determined to do whatever it takes to save her brother's life. Will Amara be able to complete the tasks given to her by the mysterious man? Will she be able to save her brother's life? And what will happen when her assigned tasks clash with her feelings for the devil prince, forcing her to choose between her love for him and her family? *** The cover doesn't belong to me.

I froze on the spot, my mind racing with fear and shock. Several thoughts flashed through my mind in that instant, and I could feel my heart beating faster with each passing second.
Who could this be? How long has this person been following me? Did this person see me going into the royal library? Oh God, what should I do now?
I thought helplessly, but nothing came to my mind. Biting my lips nervously, I turned around to face the person behind me. To my surprise, it was Arlo, the handsome guard with piercing, beautiful blue eyes.
"Arlo, it's you," I exclaimed.
He looked at me with a charming smile, his eyes brightening up slightly. "You remember me, Your Highness. I feel happy."
I smiled back. "How could I forget your name? You saved my life."
Arlo smiled widely. "It was an honor for me to save your life, Princess Amelia."
