Publisher's summary

Now an Amazon top five best seller!

An all-new dark stand-alone romance from the USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling 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've 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.

Awesome SUPER spicy story but dull narration.

The story is amazing! The spice is THERE and GIVING!

The narration is far better that’s The Ritual! but the male narration is giving dull and dryness. His voice reminds of someone reading a instruction manual. It’s lacking movement and dimension.

The female narrator seems like she’s trying to hard. Her performance seems forced as if this was her first reading. She didn’t seem to make it believable.

Love Tyson but….

I absolutely love Tyson and sacrifice is an amazing book! I read it first and then listened to it and as much as I think Liam is a great narrator, to me, he wasn’t the right pick for this! Tyson, in my head has a rough and husky voice. Liam was too upbeat and chipper and got me out threw off the entire book.

Enjoyed the plot twists!

No spoilers

Tyson and Lake aren't my favorite couple but I enjoyed the story. Lake is more than just a "dumb blonde" and Tyson from the beginning is brutal but intrigued which is refreshing.
The plot twists were pretty good! Some I guessed and some I didn't. I enjoyed the ending and really liked how everything tied up.

Great revenge story!

From the start of this series I was interested in Tyson's story. As the details unfolded his revenge plot had me reading as fast as I could. I hated him and then loved him. Tyson & Lake were intense and just might be my favorite couple yet.
