Book Synopsis



NOW AN AMAZON TOP 5 BESTSELLER


An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier


HIS LADY


A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady's job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.


I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.


I was to wed a Lord of my parents' choosing. Wealth can't buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.


But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man-an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.


Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I'm nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn't have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I'd break them. Consequences be damned.


Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn't realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He'll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.


Yet even he couldn't have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we're all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you're willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice ... and even that may not be enough.

A dark filthy romance

Tyson Riley Crawford (age 24) is sexy, violent and the perfect unapologetic alpha. Laikyn Grace Minson (age 21), Tyson’s little darling, is the sister of Whitney, who was Tyson’s chosen and died 3 years ago. Lake is supposed to marry Luke Cabot but hijacked by Tyson on wedding day and married to him. There are a lot of twists and turns that will have you rereading and scratching your head. I didn’t care for Lake as an FMC too much. Her decisions made no sense putting herself in danger knowing she has threats. I did like her by the end when she accepted her love for Tyson. There are plenty of steamy scenes where I had to Google certain toys used since I didn’t even know what it was 🫣. Tyson does not hold back and we love him so much more for his dominance 🕯️ The timeline takes place after The Ritual & The Sinner but before Sabotage. Tyson is only 3 years older than Ryat & Sin. I love Tyson and Ryat’s friendship! He was a senior when they were freshmen at Barrington University. Cameos include Colt and friends, the Spade brothers, and Sin. Those 18 year ahead epilogues are so exciting! I just want so much more in this world 🙌🏽 Duet style narration with Heather Firth and Liam Dicosimo was really good. I didn’t love Liam as Tyson, maybe wanted a more rough/raw voice, but otherwise it flowed well.

Great book, shipping is questionable

Love this book so much. Only complaint is when shipping be careful how you pack the books. Edges or spine get damaged with how careless the packers are when it comes to shipping
