Lady Seraphina Ashbourne, eldest of three daughters, has been the darling of the Season for three years-but she's turned down every proposal. She believes in love, not alliances, and no man has stirred her heart. When Lord Tristan Blackthorn, the illegitimate son of a powerful duke, arrives at her estate with a cold, calculated marriage proposal, Seraphina is insulted.

As the Selection continued on, there were more questions Fae found herself asking about the Prince, things not even the whole of Illéa knew about him, making her even question her decision to enter. But she knew she entered for a chance at something else, and a cold-hearted, mysterious prince wasn't going to take that away from her. based on the series "The Selection" by Kiera CassComplete
