The French Revolution took Armand de Valois's title, but a foolish wager with his guardian costs him his freedom. The debt falls to Eliza, his cousin's ruthless widow, who demands a payment far more personal than coin: Armand's servitude. He is her property, her asset, forced into public shame and intimate service to repay the crushing debt. Armand is stripped of his identity and publicly collared, his body disciplined and his mind ruthlessly refined by Eliza's exacting will. But his final, irreversible duty is to sire her heir. She locks him away, controlling his diet and exercise, determined to forge her legacy within his body. He emerges from the crucible utterly devoted, her loyal steward and father of her children. The Viscount who once raged against his capture now willingly kneels in perpetual service, proudly bearing the chains of the woman who remade him.
