Betrayed by the woman he loved, Captain David Demery is forced to marry her to save her from ruin. But their union is a marriage in name only, a cold arrangement born of scandal and duty. Exiled to his secluded Welsh manor, Cate must navigate a hostile family, her own past mistakes, and a husband who hates her, all while protecting the secret of her son's true father. Can love bloom in the ashes of betrayal, or will their unkissed marriage be their undoing?

After the mysterious and tragic death of their grandfather, twins (Y/n) and Jake Portman stumble upon a hidden world straight out of the fantastical stories he used to tell. Driven by his last cryptic words and a peculiar postcard, they embark on a journey to a remote Welsh island. What awaits them is a crumbling orphanage, unsettling truths, and the dawning realization that their grandfather's 'tales' were more real—and dangerous—than they ever imagined. Will they uncover the secrets of the past, or become lost in its loop?
